D             Am               C              G
It has been a dream of mine to hold you in my arms
D                   Am               C                G
to tell you that my love is true and shelter you from storms
D                  Am               C                G
the road I chose a long time ago it led me from your door
D                          Am                 C               G
and now I am back from the shadows rain and I cannot love you more

G                  D           C                 G     D
If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind
G                            C       D           G
I'll hold you in my thoughts forever through all time

D                   Am                      C             G
You see a soul in a tattered hat who's been out there for awhile
D                            Am                 C                  G
and in my trials I've walked through fire now I wait to share your smile

D                    Am                 C                      G
I know my roads have all run out I have nothing but words it's true
D                     Am               C        G
perhaps I can rhyme a few of them in a song for you

G                  D           C                 G     D
If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind
G                              C       D           G
I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time

D                   Am                C                G
Now there's a place within this world its precious and alive
D                 Am                     C                G
it is not distant and it is not far it's right before our eyes
D                   Am                  C               G
so take my hand and close your eyes and I will take you there
D                       Am
C                           G
have a little faith and don't lose hope and it wouldn't hurt if you said
a prayer

G                  D           C                 G     D
If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind
G                              C       D           G
I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time......

If heaven is not a place to go but is a state of mind
G                              C       D           G
I will hold you in my thoughts forever through all time......
