C Cmaj7 F C ccg

C Cmaj7 F
how long since i’ve spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger
C C C G
his warm arms all around me?
C Cmaj7 F
how long since i’ve gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down
C C C G
to a place where it longs to be?
Em F
all of your history has little to do with your face
A# F F F C G
you’re mainly a mystery with violins filling in space

C Cmaj7 F
you stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose ,
C C C G
from the bouquet in our hotel
C Cmaj7 F
and lay down beside me again and i watched the rose ,
C C C G
on the pillow as it fell
Em F
i sank and i slept in a twilight with only one care;
A# F
to know that when day broke and i woke , that you’d still be there ,
C
you D still be there

C Cmaj7 F
the hours for once they passed slowly , unendingly by
C C C G
like a sweet breeze on a field
C Cmaj7 F
your gentleness came down upon me and i guess i thanked you ,
C C C G
when you caused me to yield
Em F
we spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond
A# F
our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone ,
C
soon would be gone

C Cmaj7 F
don’t tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams ,
C C C G
i don’t want to hear
C Cmaj7 F
just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other
C C C G
from a lifetime of cares
Em F
because if love means forever , expecting nothing returned
A# F
then i hope i’ll be given another whole lifetime to learn ,
C
ummmmmmm

C Cmaj7 F
because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder;
C C C G
how they could belong to me?
C Cmaj7 F
and i gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down;
C C C G
to a place where it longs to be

* alternate :

C = A
