lyrics

You and I, out in the open
Climbing high, dreaming and hoping
You and I, silently roaming
Touch the sky, reach the horizon
Paradise could only be a breath away
Another gentle breath away
Somewhere we will meet again one day

Born here with you
The open hills our secret garden
Lifelong we’d stay
The way that we were then
Long years we grew
From perfect friends to distant strangers
Still we can try
To bring it back again

I’m calling, I’m calling to you

You and I, out in the open
Gliding by, drifting and floating
You and I, nobody knowing
Where or why our future was going
Today already seems a million miles away
Another distant world away
Tomorrow’s softly calling out my name

Though far apart
Those distant days now long forgotten
Time told me now
I’m coming home again

It’s over, I know now, I’m with you at last

You and I, out in the open
High and wide, sky never broken
You and I, chasing a rainbow
Day and night, where did the time go?
My destiny could only be a step away
Another easy step away
Maybe it’s already here today

Long winters gone into
Glorious springtime
I still can remember the way

You and I, the way we had chosen
Side by side, a memory frozen
You and I, out in the open
Hold that smile just for a moment
Paradise was only one more day away
Another lonely day away
Paradise was only ever one more step away
It’s just a final step away
Finally it’s here in me today
