Intro:  A augmentedA  F#7F#7  Bm7Bm7  Dm7Dm7  E7E7


      A augmentedA          E7E7      A7A7    D7D7
The evening breeze, caressed the trees, tenderly,
       Bm7Bm7         Dm7Dm7      A augmentedA   C#m7C#m7 Bm7Bm7  A augmentedA
The trembling trees, embraced the breeze, tenderly.
   DmDm Dm7Dm7 E7E7    DmDm  Dm7Dm7 E7E7
Then you and I, came wandering by,
   F#m7F#m7   B7B7     Bm7Bm7  E7E7
And lost in a sigh, were we.


       A augmentedA         E7E7     A7A7   D7D7
The shore was kissed, by sea and mist, tenderly;
      Bm7Bm7         Dm7Dm7      A augmentedA   (C#m7C#m7  Bm7Bm7  A augmentedA
I can't forget, how two hearts met, breathlessly.
   DmDm  Dm7Dm7  E7E7      F#m7F#m7     B7B7
Your arms opened wide, and  closed me  inside;
      A augmentedA         Bm7Bm7     Dm7Dm7     A augmentedA  D7D7  Bm7Bm7  E7E7
You took my lips, you took my love,  so ten - der - ly.
