I think this is pretty accurate but I know there are a few simplifications I made.
This song holds up well as a solo acoustic piece. I performed it at a wedding solo
and it turned out very well.

The second verse is very similar to the first and is even simplified in a few places.
Play the same picking pattern as the first verse.
second verse
Soft moonlight on your face
oh how you shine
it takes my breath away
when I look into your eyes
I know I don't deserve
a treasure like you
there really are no words
to show my gratitude
the song ends with a partial repeat of the 1st verse
it was no accident
me finding you
someone had a hand in it
long before we ever knew
riff 1 again but add a D chord slow strum at the end
