G E C D
Hello my friend, it's morning, time to wake now
G E C D
Your body and mine entwined will have to break now
G E C D
I want your flesh, your warmth to stay beside me
G E C D
Oh, how I wish you could be deep inside me
G E C D
Show me your eyes, your love, most tender feeling
G E C D
And I'll give you mine, be truthful and revealing
CHORUS
G
'cause it's you that I love
F
And it's true that I love
C D
It's love not given lightly
G
But I knew this was love
F
And it's you that I love
C | D | % |
And it's more than what it might be
VERSE
G E C D
When we're alone I cannot always face you
G E C D
Maybe my mood won't let these arms embrace you
G E C D
That doesn't mean my love's somehow diminished
G E C D
Give me the time to show our love's unfinished
CHORUS
G
'cause it's you that I love
F
And it's true that I love
C D
It's love not given lightly
G
But I knew this was love
F
And it's you that I love
C D
And it's more than what it might be
VERSE
G F C D
I need your body, your mind and your emotions
G F C D
Shed me your tears till I drown in your oceans
CHORUS
G
'cause it's you that I love
F
And it's true that I love
C D
It's love not given lightly
G
But I knew this was love
F
And it's you that I love
C D
And it's more than what it might be
