You were drifting like snow on a cold winter’s day
C9 Bb6 A Dm
I was looking to show you well on your way
C9 Bb6 A Dm
But the rapture of youth had encompassed my heart
C9 Bb6 A Dm
And the joy of the day had not fallen apart.

Gm Dm
With memories falling like leaves
Gm E A
Swirled in a whirlwind of the late autumn breeze
Gm Dm
Caught in the tempest we fly
Gm E A
Both of us knowing yet wondering why…
Dm C9 Bb6 A Dm
I can’t take any more of your wild childish smiles
C9 Bb6 A Dm
A tough road to follow though I try for awhile
C9 Bb6 A Dm
Far different from me, still at a loss for a word
C9 Bb6 A Dm
Affection not earned but already incurred.

Gm Dm
Igniting a smoldering fire
Gm E A
If I turned too quickly you’d call me a liar
Gm Dm
Calmly I wait at your door
Gm E A
The threshold of passion and possibly more.
Gm Dm Gm Dm
Reaching, gasping, to your fervor I find myself grasping
Gm Dm Gm A
Falling intensely in love... with… you…
A Dm
Deeply in love with you.

Dm C9 Bb6 A Dm
Laying silently stolen in a field of my dream
C9 Bb6 A Dm
Sunlight splaying upon us in a bright summer scene
C9 Bb6 A Dm
Please forgive my transgressions and hold me to keep
C9 Bb6 A
And I’ll stay with you forever…
