---

G     Em

Down by the wa-ter, where the wild winds play,

C     G

I still hear your laugh-ter roll-ing o-ver the bay,

Em    C

The sun’s go-ing down but your light re-mains,

G   D  G

Oh Va-ler-ie, I whis-per your name.

(Takte betont wie „1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &“ – jede Silbe auf der Zählzeit)

---

Em    C

We carved our dreams in the old oak tree,

G    D

Said we’d be young for e-ter-ni-ty,

Em    C

But time moved fast, like the o-cean tide,

G   D

Still I feel you here by my side.

---

C   G

Valerie, oh Va-ler-ie,

D   Em

Your heart’s the song that’s haunt-ing me,

C   G

From the shore to the sil-ver sea,

D   Em

I’ll be wait-ing where we used to be.

C   G

Valerie, my mem-o-ry,

D   Em

You’re the flame that will ne-ver leave,

C   G

In the ech-oes of the waves, I see

D   G

You and me — Va-ler-ie.

---

G    Em

The stars start to shim-mer, the night drifts in,

C    G

I taste the salt of what could’ve been,

Em    C

The moon-light dances where you once lay,

G   D  G

My heart still sails on Va-ler-ie Bay.

---

Em   C

And when the storms roll o-ver me,

G   D

I’ll stand where you taught me to be free,

Em   C

The winds may cry, but they’ll ne-ver steal

G   D

The love that time could ne-ver heal.

---

[Final Chorus] (wie vorher, mit viel Gefühl, evtl. langsameres „echo“ am Ende)

C   G

Valerie, oh Va-ler-ie,

D   Em

Your voice still sings in-side of me,

C   G

Where the sky meets the end-less sea,

D   Em

That’s where my heart will al-ways be —

C   G

With you, my Va-ler-ie.
