G7/     C       C  Cmaj7/B  
LAmove, risin from the C/Gmists,
PFmaj7romise me this and oF6nly tFmaj7his,
HoFly breath toCuchin' me
Like a Gsus4wind soGng,
 G7/  C               G7        C  Cmaj7/B  
Sweet communion of a kiss
SAmun, siftin' thru the C/Ggrey
EFmaj7nter in, reach me wF6ith a ray
SiFlently swoopCin' down
Just to Gsus4show mGe
 G7/  C               G7  C  
How to give my heart away
OAbnce a crystal choir
Appeared while I was slEbeepin'
And called my name
And when they cAbame do__wn
      AbMaj7#11
nearer
Sayin', "DCyin' is donFe",
Then a neCw song was suD/Cng
Until soCmewhe__re
We breGsusathed    Gas onCe
(and still I heFar their whiGsper)
SAmtars, burstin' in the C/Gsky
HFmaj7ear the sad nova'F6s dyin' Fmaj7cry,
ShFimmerin' mCemory
Come and Gsus4hold Gme
 G7/  C                 G7        C  Cmaj7/B  
While y'show me how to fly
SAmun, siftin' thru the C/Ggrey
EFmaj7nter in, reach me wF6ith a ray
SiFlently swoopCin' down
Just to Gsus4show mGe
 G7/  C               G7  C  
How to give my heart away
LAbately sparklin' hosts
Come fill my dreams desEbcendin'
On firey beams
                           AbAbMaj7#11
I've seen 'em come clea__r down
Where our Cpoor bodies lFay,
Soothe us gCently and sD/Cay,
"Gunna wCipe a__ll your tGsusears     GawCay"
(and still I heFar their whiGsper)
LAmove, risin from the C/Gmists,
PFmaj7romise me this and oF6nly tFmaj7his,
HoFly breath toCuchin' me
Like a Gsus4wind soGng,
 G7/  C               G7  C  
Sweet communion of a kiss
Thanks to Rich Smorgasbord and Ludwig-van for figuring out the chords.
