capo ii

A Amaj7 *

A Amaj7 Bm
softly she comes
E A Amaj7 Bm
whispers the breeze with her passing
E A A7 D
in secret love she is laughing
Dm7 A A Bm
softly she comes in the night

A Amaj7 Bm
softly she sighs
E A Amaj7 Bm
sweetly she lies never sleeping
E A A7 D
her fragrance all in my keeping
Dm7 A A Bm A Bm
softly she comes in the night

E
down the darkened hall
D A
i hear her footsteps on my stair
E E7
and she is in my arms once more

A Amaj7 Bm
then softly she goes
E A Amaj7 Bm
her shining lips in the shadows
E A A7 D
whisper goodbye at my window
Dm7 A A Bm D
softly she goes in the dawn
Dm7 A A Bm A
softly she goes in the dawn
