(A little easier to play for the less advanced player)


Intro:    A   F#7    Bm7   Dm7    E7


            A                    E7           A7        D7
The evening breeze, caressed the trees, tenderly,
              Bm7                 Dm7           A      C#m7  Bm7   A
The trembling trees, embraced the breeze, tenderly.
     Dm  Dm7 E7       Dm    Dm7  E7
Then you and I,  came wandering  by,
      F#m7      B7         Bm7    E7
And  lost  in a sigh, were we.

              A                  E7          A7     D7
The shore was kissed, by sea and mist, tenderly;
           Bm7                 Dm7            A     (C#m7    Bm7    A
I can't forget, how two hearts met, breathlessly.
     Dm    Dm7   E7           F#m7         B7
Your arms opened wide, and   closed me   inside;
            A                 Bm7         Dm7          A   D7   Bm7   E7
You took my lips, you took my love,    so ten -  der - ly.

           Bm7                 Dm7            A    (C#m7)    Bm7    A
I can't forget, how two hearts met, breathlessly.
     Dm    Dm7    E7         F#m7           B7
