Strum
D-DU-UDU
 If I was a raindrop
 Would you be my thunder  storm?
 It's cold so surround  me
 With rain clouds to keep  me warm
 I feel  like I'm falling
 So darling, don't let  me go
 The thought is appalling
 But should I slip  away
 Into the stormy  sea  will you remember  me?
 x2):
 Asleep  in our warm  cocoons
 We dream  of lovely  things
 We're both  gonna wake  up soon
 So we hope  that tomorrow  brings
 Us our butterfly  wings
 If I was a grain  of sand
 Would you be Miami  Beach?
 So dusty with starlight
 Close your eyes and cuddle close  to me
 I'll try  not to wake  you
 Or make a sound while you're dozing  off
 But in the night should the high  tide
 Sweep me away  from you
 Tell me again,  my dear,
 Will you be waiting  here?
 x2):
 Whenever  we leave  the ground
 And take  to  the sky
 I'll smile  as I'm gazing  down
 'Cause I've  always wondered  why
 We won't need feathers  to fly
