E A E7 A D9 Fdim A
A very precious love is what you are to me
D9 Bm5-/7 C#m5-/7 F#7 Gdim Bm
A stairway to a star, a night in Shangri La of ecstasy
D9 E7 Cdim A D9 Bm5-/7 E7 F#7
Lanterns of gold, lanterns of blue
B7 Cdim E B7 E
Twinkle in the shadows while I dance with you
E A E7 A D9 Fdim A
An echo in the wind across the summer lake
D9 Bm5-/7 C#m5-/7 F#7
Is saying you should know that lanterns lose their glow
Gdim Bm
And hearts can break
C#7 F#7 D Cdim Bm5-/7
So hold me close, my Darling, then kiss me tenderly
D9 Bm5-/7 A D9 Edim E7 E7/13 A
And give your precious love, your very precious love to me
