Just like the tide goes with the sea
We belong together, you and me
Just like the dawn followed by day
We’ll always be together
And that’s just how it will stay

It must be you that’s always walking in my dreams
It must be you who’ll always be right next to me
So when you find yourself alone
Just think of me and I’ll be there
Must be you by my side the whole way through

Just like the fresh white winter snow
Our love is pure and it will always grow
And when we’re in those autumn years
Together, we’ll look back, but we won’t shed a single tear

When you find yourself alone
Just think of me and I’ll be there
Must be you by my side the whole way through
