Look at me

Tell me what you see 
D           A                   E                 E7 
Do you understand how much your love has done for me

From where I stand you are the break of day

You're a silver thread of starlight in the evening

I could hardly feel my heart

And I hope you're never far from where I stand

You held me close beside you and helped me find my way 
D     A          C#m               D    
Honestly you are still the one for me

And my heart is gonna' be with you forever

You're a silver thread of starlight in the evening

I could hardly feel my heart

And I hope you're never far from where I stand
