In the chilly hours and minutes of uncertainty, 
I want to be
In the warm hold of your loving mind
To feel you all around me and to take your hand, 
Along the sand
Ah, but I may as well try an’ catch the wind

When sundown pales the sky I want to hide a while, 
Behind your smile
An’ everywhere I’d look, your eyes I’d find
For me to love you now, would be the sweetest thing
T’would make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try an’ catch the wind

When rain has hung the leaves with tears, I want you near
To kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind
For standing in your heart is where I want to be
An’ long to be
Ah, but I may as well try an’ catch the wind
