Verse 1
If I could move mountains, I would for you
We've know each other since childhood when we played in school
We held hands, laughed n' kissed promised our love to be true
But promises can be broken and hearts can be too
I can't let this happen to us 'cause lovin' you is so cool
Verse 2
So what happens next, will the stars fall from the sky?
Will the clouds bring rain or will there be sunshine?
Today is a new beginning for us no more good-byes?
I was lost without you for half my life and here you are by my side--
Let's take our chances roll the dice make it happen this time--
Pre-Chorus
So let me explain now, how I feel about it all
It's not very complicated my baaaaby doll--
Chorus
'Cause you can't take away from me
All that you gave to me
I know who you are
And you know who I am
I'm the one, I'm one for you, take my hand
Together we'll take long walks on the sand every day
N'when the evening comes I'll hold you close, close to me
Verse 3
Seeing you again, makes me smile how long has it been
I've missed you, my feelings for you they will never ever end
You are so beautiful just like I remember you my friend
We shared the secrets of love, and whispered of our dreams back then
Went riding on horseback, there were hikes and picnics too
(Voice Harm) G8 Am8 D8 G8 (Solo) G8, Am8, D8, G8
Oooo oooo oooo oooo
(Voice Harm) Em8 Am8 Em8 D8
Oooo oooo oooo oooo
Verse 4
I know it's been a long time since we were kids having fun
Then came that day, you moved so far away
I'm glad that I found you after all these years
I'm now playing the guitar and sing songs about love
And when you hear my voice, you're the one I'm singing of
Pre-Chorus
So let me explain now, how I feel about it all
It's not very complicated my baaaaby doll--
Chorus
You can't take away from me
All that you gave to me
I know who you are
And you know who I am
I'm the one
(Acappella)
You can't take away from me
All that you gave to me
I know who you are
And you know who I am
I'm the one--
You can't take away from me
All that you gave to me
I know who you are
And you know who I am
I'm the one, I'm the one for you, take my hand
Together we'll take long walks on the sand every day
When the evening comes I'll hold you close, close to me
Too meeee, close to meeee......
Oooo oooo
