D ~ ~ + G - D - A - G - A (2x)

G - D G D

1. I hear your name whispered on the wind,

A G

it‘s a sound that makes me cry.

D G D

I hear a song blow again and again

A G

through my mind and I don‘t know why,

Bm

I wish I didn‘t feel so strong about you,

Em D

like happiness and love revolve around you.

A Bm A G A Bm A

Trying to catch your heart is like trying to catch a star,

G - A

so many people love you, baby, that must be what you are.

G Bm A G

Waiting for a star to fall and carry your heart into my arms,

G A

that‘s where you belong, in my arms, baby !

G Bm A G

Waiting for a star to fall and carry your heart into my arms,

G A

that‘s where you belong, in my arms, baby !

G - D G D

2. I‘ve learned to feel what I cannot see,

A G

but with you, I lose that vision.

D G D

I don‘t know how to dream your dream,

A G

so I‘m all caught up in the superstition,

Bm

I want to reach out and pull you to me,

Em D

who says I should let a wild one go free.

A Bm A G A Bm A - G

Trying to catch your heart is like trying to catch a star,

- A

but I can‘t love you this much, baby, and I love you from this far.

+ CHORUS

+ Waiting (however long), I don‘t like waiting (I‘ll wait for you),

seems like waiting makes me love you even more.
