CAPO III


INTRO: G  A7  C  D  G  D

    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


And the happiness you've given me for lovin' you
Is sweeter, love, and deeper every day
But I can't stop the changes that you're growin' thru
Or someone new from stealin' you away, so darlin'


CHORUS:
          G             C
When it's time, you can spread your wings
G                C
And I'll set you free
   G             D
To fly away, and it's okay
               G            C
'cause darlin' time changes everything
G                   C
But it won't change me
  G               D
I love you, oh, I love you


SOLO


Inside of me you'll always be my valentine
I pray your freedom makes your dreams come true
As long as there's a heartbeat in this soul of mine
You'll know there's someone so in love with you, and darlin'


CHORUS
