E B7 E B7 E B7 E B7


E    B7           E
Love,  ......
  B7          E
adrift ......
B7              A           A/C#
floating by the open window
E       B7            E
oh, the sentiment ......
   B7                  E
reflections.......
         B7
what can enter......
         A               A/C#
when our hearts .....
F#m              A
Here ......    appear

E      A       B
how sacred love can be


E       B7               E
Shared, ..........
     B7             E
.................................
      B7       A           A/C#
............. cultivated


E   E/G#  A               E
Our love   ...... scared thing
         E/G#      A
..................................
E       E/G#        A
 in the darkness ...
E     E/G#     A                E
  and still so strong ............
    E/G#  A                E
Our love   ....... infinite thing
         E/G#       A          E
like the sun’s last ray on the sea
        E/G#  A
  as it sets low .....
B                         A
and the moon rises.

E   B7   E  B7  E   B7   E  B7
