            C#
If I was a raindrop
                 D#m         F#
Would you be my thunder storm?
                C#
It's cold so surround me
                     G#         A#m F#
With rain clouds to keep me warm
   G#            C#
I feel like I'm falling
                  D#m      F#
So darling, don't let me go
                 C#
The thought is appalling
                      G#
But should I slip away
          A#m        F#         G#
Into the stormy sea will you remember me?

 D#m          C#      G#
Asleep in our warm cocoons
     D#m     C#       G#
We dream of lovely things
       D#m        C#      G#
We're both gonna wake up soon
       F#          C#/F
So we hope that tomorrow brings
       G#          C#
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 tides
Sweep me away from you
Tell me again my dear will you be waiting here?

Whenever we leave the ground
And take to the sky
I'll smile as I'm gazing down
Because I've always wondered why
We won't need feathers to fly
