G6 C G6 Dm7 Dm7/A
They’d met the night before, the water’s shore, he played his horn across
Dm7 Dm7/A G7
the park
G7/D G7 G7/D C G6
And so they strolled and spoke of years of old back when the folks would dance

in the dark
C G6 C G6
They found a place to sit where all the lamps were lit,

Their fingers grazed hands almost touched, so long Then

was sweet enough
G7/D G7 G7/D C G6 C G6 C
He dove in, he kissed her with a grin, then wondered if his lips felt too rough
