Verse 1
C 
Em 
Now is the glimmering
spinning beginning
Cm 
Of something I've prayed for
and counted the minutes
Dsus4 
G 
To be       in the shadows
of sheltering meadows
C 
Of night here with you in my arms

Verse 2
C 
Nothing is breathing as sunset is leaving
Cm 
Except you and I in the stillness
of moonlight
Dsus4 
D 
G 
We're tenderly touching
Dsus4 
G 
in silent caresses
C 
Counting on time to slow down

Verse 3

This is the moment that pauses to hold us

As you and I move in

a background of wonder

Dsus4

Surrounded by countless

enclosures

Of nocturnal unspoken music of joy

Verse 4
C 
Counting times I have stood at the
Cm 
foot of your ivory tower
And waited and called out
Dsus4 
your name by the hour
G 
Dsus4 
G 
And counted on wings of my heartstrings to carry
the sound I have counted on fleeting
C 
You'd see how I need you come down

Verse 5
C 
And now between twilight and midnight
you've come to me
Cm 
Down in your gown of soft
moonbeams and starlight
Dsus4 
Bright   in the evening
the breezes have fenced us
G 
And nestled against us
C 
You're here
Cm 
And warm
Dsus4 
And mine     till the time when
the dawn will awake me,
G 
The morning will shake me,
the highway will take me

Verse 6
C 
But now while the rays of the moon
make bouquets
Cm 
We will swim in the luster of
lingering streetlights
Dsus4 
And count    on the night to
hold everything even
G 
And count on forgetting
that I will be leaving
When heaven has folded and let in the dawn,
C 
I'll be gone

Verse 7
C 
But now as the gardens
of softening nighttine
Cm 
Are blossoming slowly
around where we are
Dsus4 
G 
You and I        come together and walk
through the dreams of the stars
C 

Verse 8
So here while song of the deepening evening
Cm 
Is singing to me from the light in your eyes
Dsus4 
We can count on each other to move
G 
to the beach of tomorrow
C 
And know where we've been
