Intro:    B7sus4    E/B    F#m7    E/G#  Asus2  
B5How can the small flowers grow,
       G#m/  B     Em/B  A/B  
If the wild   winds  blow,
               B5             Bm  E5/B  
And the cold snow    is all around?
And B5where will the frail birds fly,
         G#m/  B    Em/B  A/B  
If their homes  on    high,
Have been B5torn down    Bmto the grouBnd?
   ELift the E/G#wings,
And Acarry me away from A/Bhere and,
   EFill the E/G#sail,
That Abreaks the line to Bhome.
                C#m  G#m/  B       A  E/G#  
EBut when BI'm miles and    miles  away from you,
F#m/    A  E/B  
  I'm beside you, when I think of you,
          A/B           EF#m11

If a G#mrain E/G#won't Afall,
To E5add9wash its D6branches E5add4down?
And B5how can a heart survive,
Can it G#mstay    E/G#alivAe,
        E5add9           D6  B/D#  
If its love's   denied for long?
  ELift the E/G#wings,
That Acarry me away from A/Bhere and,E

And this E/Bsong will bring me near to you,
