No heartaches felt, no long - er lonely,

Nights of waiting finally won me,

Happiness is all rolled up in you.

And now with you as in - spiration,

I look towards a destination

Sunny-bright that once before was blue.

 I  have no more than I did before,

For  I love you and I know you love me.

So take my hand, I'll start my journey,
F#
Free from all the helpless worry,

That besets a man when he's a-lone.
(E) A                     Asus4 A
For strength is mine when we're together,


F#
And with you I know I'll never

Have to pass the high road for the low.
