[Intro: ](G) D7 C G {pause}
D7 C G
At the moment the music began, and you heard the guitar player starting sing
D7 C G
You were filled with the beauty that ran, through what you were imagining
C Em D7
Dreaming of scenes from those songs of love, I was the endless sky
C G
And you were my Mexican dove.
D7 C G
Now the music that played in your ears, grows a little bit fainter each day
D7 C G
And you find yourself looking through tears, at the love you feel slipping away
C Em
Though it's not the kind, of love you might hope to find
D7 C G
If tears could release the heart, from the shadows preferred by the mind
Interlude: (G) D7 C G x 2
D7 C G
Like a wind that comes up in the night, caressing your face while you sleep
D7 C G
Love will fill your eyes with the sight, of a world you can't hope to keep
C Em D7
Dreaming on after that moment's gone, the light in your lover's eyes
C G C
Disappears in the light of the dawn, but the morning brings, strength to your
Em Bm Em
restless wings, and some other lover sings to the sun's bright corona,
{pause} D7 C G (G) D7 C G
I know all about these things, Linda Paloma.
D7 G G Em D7 G
Fly away...Linda Paloma.
I dedicate this posting to *SUSAN* who has inspired me with her "Bright Baby Blues"...
