   C                                      G                     
When I need you, I just close my eyes and I'm with you,
G                           Am                        G

G          C                                         G
When I need love, I hold out my hands and I touch love,
G                                          Am                                                              G
I never knew there was so much love, keeping me warm night and day.
Am                                       G
Miles and miles of empty space in between us.
     Am                                         G
A telephone can't take the place of your smile.
               C                                           Dm
But you know I won't be traveling  forever,
Dm                                           G7
It's cold out, but hold out and do like I do.

It's not easy when the roas is goodbye love,
Am                                                           G
Honey that's a heavy load we'll have to bear.
              C                                          Dm
But you know I won't be traveling a lifetime,
