Verse 1:
DmDm A minorAm
Just like the songbird, deep in the forest,
Am7Am7 DmDm
I sing praises but you never hear;
(Bb majorBb) C majorC
And deep in my body my soul is silent,
Am7Am7 DmDm
But contented at times when you're near.
Verse 2:
DmDm A minorAm
Please listen to me and I will tell thee,
Am7Am7 DmDm
All those words that have never been said;
(Bb majorBb) C majorC
They shout inside me but then they cower
Am7Am7 DmDm
Behind weakness that's ruling my head.
Verse 3:
DmDm A minorAm
I dearly love thee and not one other
Am7Am7 DmDm
Will know sweetness that lies in my breast;
(Bb majorBb) C majorC
'Tis you that made me but God forbade me
Am7Am7 DmDm
To uncover my heart to love's test.
Verse 4:
DmDm A minorAm
No love is sorrow and now I'm happy
Am7Am7 DmDm
To have thee in this world for my love;
(Bb majorBb) C majorC
And now you must know my soul is for thee;
Am7Am7 DmDm
That's why this love is my soaring dove:
Am7Am7 DmDm
That's why this love is my soaring dove.
