A E7(#5) A7(9) D9
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly,
Bm7(b5) Dm7 A Bm7(b5) A
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.
Dm Dm6 E7 Dm Dm6 E7
Then you and I came wandering by,
Fº F#m7 B7 Bm7(b5) E7
And lost in a sigh were we.
A E7(#5) A7(9) D9
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
Bm7(b5) Dm7 A Bm7(b5) A
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly.
Dm Dm6 E7 Fº F#m7 Cº B7
Your arms opened wide and closed me in - side
Cº A Fº Bm7(b5) Dm7(b5) Fº A D9 Bm7(b5) E7
You took my lips, you took my love so ten - der - ly.
