 Struggling with The Wind? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

Wind wind blow oooooh oooh blow wind wind 
When the cool summer breeze
Sends a chill down my spine
And I long for my love's sweet caress
I know she is gone but my love lingers on
In a dream that the wind brings to me 
I remember as we kissed in the cool summer breeze
As she lay warm and tender in my arms
Darlin, when a star falls I wish for you;
And darlin', when I see lover's making love I long for you ...
And when the sun and the stars are shinnng above the mountains and the valleys,
Then darlin I look for you;
And even until the heavens above can no longer shine,
Even until then I shall still love you.
I know she is gone but my love it lingers on 
In a dream that the wind brings to me.
