Like the rose that blooms in the wintertime As it reaches up through the snow The more life keeps apart The more love will grow Like the seed that grows in the darkness As it reaches up to the sun I will always reach out for you 'Cause you are the one I bless the wings that bring you Back across the shore If I could touch you now, my darling And love you just once more If I could hold you Hold you, hold you I know you'd understand I know you'd understand As I cross the bridge by the waterfall As I make my way by the stars There's a shadow walking beside me Here in my heart Like the restless wind in the tree tops Like a whispered voice in my ear I will always be there for you I'll always be here I bless the wings that bring you Back across the shore If I could touch you now, my darling And love you just once more If I could hold you Hold you, hold you I know you'd understand I know you'd understand In a far off wonderland That flashes past my eyes The kiss of inspiration that was mine The dust of many centuries Has blown across this land But love will not be scattered by the sand Like the sunrise over the mountainside Like the bird that has to be free There's a part of you That will always be part of me I bless the wings that bring you Back across the shore If I could touch you now my, darling And love you just once more If I could hold you Hold you, hold you I know you'd understand I know you'd understand I know you'd understand I know you'd understand
