[Verse]
CIt's up in the mGorning and on the dCowns
Little white cGlouds like gambolling Flambs
And I am Gbreathless over Cyou
And the red-breasted Grobin beats his Cwings
His throat it Gtrembles when he Fsings
For he is Ghelpless before Cyou
The happy hooded Gbluebells bow
And Cbend their hGeads all a-dowFn
Heavied Gby the early morning Cdew
At the whispering Gstream, at the bubbling Cbrook
The fishes Gleap up to take a Flook
For they are Gbreathless over Cyou
[Chorus]
Still your Ghands
And still your Cheart
For still your Gface comes shining Fthrough
And all the Gmorning glows aCnew
Still your Gmind
Still your Csoul
For still, the Gfire of love is Ftrue
And I am Gbreathless without Cyou
[Interlude]
G C G F G
[Verse]
CThe wind circles Gamong the trees
And it Cbangs about the Gnew-made leavesF  
For it is Gbreathless without Cyou
And the fox chases the Grabbit round
And the Crabbit hides Gbeneath the groundF  
For he is Gdefenceless without Cyou
The sky of daytime Gdies away
And Call the earthly Gthings they stop to plaFy
For we are all Gbreathless without Cyou
I listen to my Gjuddering bones
The Cblood in my veins and the Gwind in my lungFs
And I am Gbreathless without youC  
[Chorus]
Still your Ghands
And still your Cheart
For still your Gface comes shining Fthrough
And all the Gmorning glows aCnew
Still your Gsoul
Still your Cmind
For still, the Gfire of your love is Ftrue
And I am Gbreathless without Cyou
[Outro]
AFnd I am Gbreathless without youF  C

[Intro]

C G

F G

[Verse]

C G C

It's up in the morning and on the downs

G F

Little white clouds like gambolling lambs

G C

And I am breathless over you

G C

And the red-breasted robin beats his wings

G F

His throat it trembles when he sings

G C

For he is helpless before you

The happy hooded bluebells bow

C G F

And bend their heads all a-down

G C

Heavied by the early morning dew

G C

At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook

G F

The fishes leap up to take a look

G C

For they are breathless over you

[Chorus]

Still your hands

And still your heart

G F

For still your face comes shining through

G C

And all the morning glows anew

Still your mind

Still your soul

G F

For still, the fire of love is true

G C

And I am breathless without you

[Interlude]

G C G F G

[Verse]

C G

The wind circles among the trees

C G F

And it bangs about the new-made leaves

G C

For it is breathless without you

And the fox chases the rabbit round

C G F

And the rabbit hides beneath the ground

G C

For he is defenceless without you

The sky of daytime dies away

C G F

And all the earthly things they stop to play

G C

For we are all breathless without you

I listen to my juddering bones

C G F

The blood in my veins and the wind in my lungs

G C

And I am breathless without you

[Chorus]

Still your hands

And still your heart

G F

For still your face comes shining through

G C

And all the morning glows anew

Still your soul

Still your mind

G F

For still, the fire of your love is true

G C

And I am breathless without you

[Outro]

F G F C

And I am breathless without you
