Bbm=Bm, Ebm=Em, and Db=D. The solo is just played one half-step down)
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And take me through another night
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And I will surely be alright
If I can close my eyes without a fear
Speak to me with your sweet voice
Near
Hold me in your warm hand
And I could sleep with you tonight
Hold me in your warm hand
And I could sleep with you tonight
And all my earthly cares might fade away
If you hold me in your warm hand that way
It's as close as I get to love
As close as I get to love
Speak to me with your sweet voice
Again
[solo]
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And take me through another night
Speak to me with your sweet voice
And I will surely be alright
If I can close my eyes without a fear
Speak to me with your sweet voice
Near
Speak to me with your sweet voice
That way
Speak to me with your sweet voice...
