Love Song To A Stranger

Intro: C Cmaj7 F C G C Cmaj7 F How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger 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 G To a place where it longs to be? Em F All of your history has little to do with your face Bb 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, G from the bouquet in our hotel C Cmaj7 F And lay down beside me again and I watched the rose, C G on the pillow as it fell Em F I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care; Bb 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 G Like a sweet breeze on a field C Cmaj7 F Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess I thanked you, C G When you caused me to yield Em F We spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond Bb 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 G I don't want to hear C Cmaj7 F Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other C G From a lifetime of cares Em F Because if love means forever, expecting nothing returned Bb 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 G how they could belong to me? C Cmaj7 F And I gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down; C G to a place where it longs to be
