C majorC Cmaj7Cmaj7 FF C majorC CCG

C majorC              Cmaj7Cmaj7              FF
How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger
          C majorC    CCG
His warm arms all around me?
C majorC               Cmaj7Cmaj7          FF
How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down
          C majorC      CCG
To a place where it longs to be?
E minorEm                       FF
All of your history has little to do with your face
    Bb majorBb                    FF  FFC  G+G
You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space

  C majorC            Cmaj7Cmaj7          FF
You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose,
            C majorC  CCG
from the bouquet in our hotel
  C majorC          Cmaj7Cmaj7         FF
And lay down beside me again and I watched the rose,
          C majorC  CCG
on the pillow as it fell
E minorEm                       FF
I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care;
  Bb majorBb                            FF
to know that when day broke and I woke, that you'd still be there,
        C majorC
you'd still be there

  C majorC             Cmaj7Cmaj7       FF
The hours for once they passed slowly, unendingly by
             C majorC  CCG
Like a sweet breeze on a field
   C majorC          Cmaj7Cmaj7         FF
Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess I thanked you,
           C majorC  CCG
When you caused me to yield
  E minorEm                       FF
We spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond
  Bb majorBb                       FF
Our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone,
       C majorC
Soon would be gone


   C majorC          Cmaj7Cmaj7         FF
Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams,
        C majorC  CCG
I don't want to hear
   C majorC           Cmaj7Cmaj7           FF
Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other
          C majorC  CCG
From a lifetime of cares
 E minorEm                        FF
Because if love means forever, expecting nothing returned
    Bb majorBb                      FF
Then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn,
    C majorC
ummmmmmm

 C majorC             Cmaj7Cmaj7          FF
Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder;
         C majorC     CCG
how they could belong to me?
  C majorC         Cmaj7Cmaj7           FF
And I gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down;
          C majorC     CCG
to a place where it longs to be
