    G                             A7
You gave me back my soul again by showin' me

    C                D              G    D
The laughter and the wonder in your eyes

G                                 A7
Saved me from the shuttered man I used to be

C                D             G    D
   Opened up the windows of my life
[VERSE]
        G                             A7
And the happiness you've given me for lovin' you

   C                D              G    D
Is sweeter, love, and deeper every day

G                                    A7
I can't stop the changes that you're growin' through

When it's time, you can spread your wings     and I'll set you free

To fly away, and it's okay

I love you, oh, I love you

Inside of me you'll always be my Valentine

  C                 D                      G    D
I pray your freedom makes your dreams come true

   G                                   A7
As long as there's a heartbeat in this soul of mine
