C Cmaj7 F C  CCG

CHow long since I've spent a Cmaj7whole night in a twin bed with a Fstranger
His warm arms all aCround me?C  C    G
CHow long since I've gazed into Cmaj7dark eyes that melted my Fsoul down
To a place where it Clongs to be?C  C    G
EmAll of your history has little to do with your Fface
You're B♭mainly a mystery with violins filling in FspaceF  F    C        G

You Cstood in the nude by the Cmaj7mirror and picked out a Frose,
from the bouquet in our ChotelC  C    G
And Clay down beside me aCmaj7gain and I watched the Frose,
on the pillow as it CfellC  C    G
EmI sank and I slept in a twilight with only one Fcare;
to B♭know that when day broke and I woke, that you'd still be Fthere,
you d still be Cthere

The Chours for once they passed Cmaj7slowly, unendingly Fby
Like a sweet breeze on a CfieldC  C    G
Your Cgentleness came down Cmaj7upon me and I guess I Fthanked you,
When you caused me to CyieldC  C    G
We Emspoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beFyond
Our B♭two days together which seemingly soon would be Fgone,
Soon would be Cgone

Don't Ctell me of love everCmaj7lasting and other sad Fdreams,
I don't want to ChearC  C    G
Just Ctell me of passionate Cmaj7strangers who rescue each Fother
From a lifetime of CcaresC  C    G
BeEmcause if love means forever, expecting nothing reFturned
Then I B♭hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to Flearn,
ummmmmmCm

BeCcause you gave to me oh so Cmaj7many things it makes me Fwonder;
how they could beClong to meC? C   G
And CI gave you only my Cmaj7dark eyes that melted your Fsoul down;
to a place where it Clongs to beC  C    G
