Intro:    A   F#7    Bm7   Dm7    E7 


            A                    E7           A7        D7 
The evening breeze, caressed the trees, tenderly, 
              Bm7                 Dm7           A      C#m7  Bm7   A  
The trembling trees, embraced the breeze, tenderly.  
     Dm  Dm7 E7       Dm    Dm7  E7 
Then you and I,  came wandering  by, 
      F#m7      B7         Bm7    E7 
And  lost  in a sigh, were we. 


              A                  E7          A7     D7  
The shore was kissed, by sea and mist, tenderly; 
           Bm7                 Dm7            A     (C#m7    Bm7    A  
I can't forget, how two hearts met, breathlessly. 
     Dm    Dm7   E7           F#m7         B7  
Your arms opened wide, and   closed me   inside; 
            A                 Bm7         Dm7          A   D7   Bm7   E7 
You took my lips, you took my love,    so ten -  der - ly.

           Bm7                 Dm7            A    (C#m7)    Bm7    A  
I can't forget, how two hearts met, breathlessly. 
     Dm    Dm7    E7         F#m7           B7  
Your arms opened wide, and   closed me    inside;                         (5th)

You took my lips, you took my love,    so ten - der ? ly.
