Like the rose that blooms in the wintertime
As it reaches up through the snow
The more life keeps us 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 treetops
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
