When the night winds softly blow through my open window

bringing tears to eyes so tired

Eyes I thought could cry no more

A C#m Bm7 Bm7 D
If the day would only come then you might just appear
C#m Bm Bm A
even though you'd soon be gone when I reached out my hand

If I could see you (ooohh ooooh)

When the night winds softly blow
In my dark and whispering room
Memories still bring me a numbness to my feelings
Take my hand and brush my brow
In the warm and fevered dark
Heart is madly beating
My crazy thoughts are burning
When the night winds softly blow
If the day would only come
Then you might just appear even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand
If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow
