Capo I
E
What a dream I had:
A
Pressed in organdy;
E D
Clothed in crinoline of smoky Burgundy;
A B
Softer than the rain.
E
I wandered empty streets down
A
passed the shop displays.
E
I heard cathedral bells
D
Tripping down the alley ways,
A B
As I walked on.
E
And when you ran to me
A
Your cheeks flushed with the night.
E D
We walked on frosted fields of juniper and lamplight,
A B
I held your hand.
E
And when I awoke
A
and felt you warm and near,
E
I kissed your honey hair
D
with my grateful tears.
A B
Oh I love you, girl.
D A Amaj9
Oh, I love you.
