give it freely and completely

as life goes drifting by

like a breeze she’ll gently sigh

and slowly bow her head

words that you say when we’re alone

though actions speak louder than words
Dm A
but all i can say is i love you so

set sail before the sun

feel the warmth that’s just begun

share each and every dream
