verse 1 (C  F) 
C 
I counted the stars tonight, 
C                    F 
Oh how they shine so bright, 
   C                     F                C 
I gather them all, so we perfectly align 
C 
While we gaze from far away. 
C                         F 
And separately watch the day 
     C                 F              C 
Come rising across the horizon in our minds. 

Chorus (F  C, G) 
          F   C 
But now I know, 
            F    C 
My heart is strong, 
          F    C 
Where you belong 
         G 
Is by my side. 
            F   C 
So will you hold, 
               F   C 
'cause time is cold, 
            F  C 
But in your soul 
             G 
I'm standing by.

Ohohohohohoh ohohohohohoh 

verse 1 (C  F) 
C 
I have waited a thousand years, 
                        F 
And now that tomorrow's here, 
       C                     
I will shout from the mountain top 
F                 C 
Our hearts belong near. 
C  
And we've traveled land and sea, 
                       F 
Our beacon the love we keep, 
    C 
But when we unite, 
          F                   C 
This will all have been our dream. 

Chorus (F  C, G) 
C          F   C         
And now we know, 
               F    C 
Our hearts are strong, 
         F    C 
Where we belong 
           G 
Is side by side. 
             F   C 
And so we'll hold 
           F    C 
Each other close, 
           F   C 
And in our souls 
               G 
We're standing by.

  F    C F      C       F      C        G 
Ohohoh ohohohohohohoh ohohohohohohoh ohohoh 

Chorus (F  C, G) 
G           F   C 
And so we'll hold 
           F    C 
Each other close 
               F   C 
And then we'll know 
               G 
We're standing by.
