                (Em)                         (G)                               
Let me reach out Love and touch you, let me hold you for awhile 
             (Am)        (Am/G)       (D/F#)             (F) 
I'd be known around the world, oh how I long to see you smile. 
           (Em)                        (G) 
There's a shadow on the moon, and the waters here below 
        (Em)                             (F) 
Do not shine the way they should, and I love ya just in case you didnt know. 
 
(Chorus #1) 
 
        (C) (B/C)    (Am)         (Am/G)       (F)         (D/F#) 
Let it go, let it happen like it happend once before 
(C)                       (Em) 
Its a wicked wind and it chills me to the bone, 
      (Am)            (Am/G)           (F) 
And if you do not believe me, come and gaze upon the shadow at your door. 
 
 
Won't you lie down by me baby, run your fingers through my hands 
I'd be known around the town and still I do not understand 
Is it me or is it you, or the shadow of a dream 
Is it wrong to be in love, could it be the finest love I've ever seen 
 
(Chorus #2) 
 
Set it free, let it happen like it happend once before 
Its a bitter wind, and it chills me to the bone 
And if you do not believe me, come and gaze upon the shadow at your door. 
 
Please kiss me gently darlin, where the river runs away 
from the mountains in the springtime, on a blue and windy day 
Where there's beauty all around, as the shades of night grow deep 
As the morning stars grow dim, they will find us in the shadows fast asleep. 
 
(To Chorus #1)
