"Winds Of Amsterdam"

You moved like a gentle breeze on moonlit river summer nights
I couldn't help but wonder how each moment could be so right
But honey I needed to fly back home and you just had to stay
If it would work I'd get on my knees to ask for one more day
[PRE-CHORUS]
Girl, I could pray for more
I just want you in my arms like you were before
[CHORUS]
I miss the pitter patter of the dancing rain
Across your bedroom window
And how the winds of Amsterdam
Blew your hair so beautiful and free
But every midnight whistle of a distant train
Reminded me I had to go
Right through the winds of Amsterdam
I wished would bring you home with me
Your smile had a kiss that melted the whole world away
And, oh, those midnight eyes kept on begging for me to stay
I'm awake tonight and hoping you see the moon that I see now
'Cause it started asking questions that all these miles can't allow
[PRE-CHORUS]
The moon could ask for more
It just wants to watch us now like it did before
[CHORUS]
I miss the pitter patter of the dancing rain
Across your bedroom window
And how the winds of Amsterdam
Blew your hair so beautiful and free
But every midnight whistle of a distant train
Reminded me I had to go
Right through the winds of Amsterdam
I wished would bring you home with me
[BRIDGE]
Tonight I have decided
What those summer winds will do
I'll run out and grab another plane
And let those winds bring me to you
[CHORUS]
I miss the pitter patter of the dancing rain
Across your bedroom window
And how the winds of Amsterdam
Blew your hair so beautiful and free
But every midnight whistle of a distant train
Reminded me I had to go
Right through the winds of Amsterdam
I wished would bring you home with me
Right through the winds of Amsterdam
Tonight, girl, you'll be holding on to me
