Verse 1
(C major) (E minor) Now is the glimmering
spinning beginning
Of something (C minor) I've prayed for
and counted the minutes
To (Dsus4) be in the shad (G major) ows
of sheltering meadows
Of night here with you in my (C major) arms
Verse 2
(C major) Nothing is breathing as sunset is leaving
Ex (C minor) cept you and I in the stillness
of moonlight
We're (Dsus4) tenderly (D major) touch (G major) ing
in silent (Dsus4) caresses (G major)
Counting on time to slow (C major) down

Verse 3
(C major) This is the moment that pauses to hold us
As (C minor) you and I move in
a background of wonder
Sur (Dsus4) rounded by countless
enclosures
Of nocturnal (G major) unspoken music of (C major) joy
Verse 4
Counting (C major) times I have stood at the
foot of your ivory (C minor) tower
And waited and called out
your name by the hour (Dsus4)
And coun (G major) ted on wings of my (Dsus4) heartstring (G major) s to carry
the sound I have counted on fleeting
You'd see how I need you come (C major) down
Verse 5
And (C major) now between twilight and midnight
you've come to me
(C minor) Down in your gown of soft
moonbeams and starlight
(Dsus4) Bright in the evening
the breezes have fenced us
And (G major) nestled against us
You're here (C major)
And (C minor) warm
And (Dsus4) mine till the time when
the dawn will awake me,
The (G major) morning will shake me,
the highway will take me
Verse 6
But (C major) now while the rays of the moon
make bouquets
We will (C minor) swim in the luster of
lingering streetlights
And (Dsus4) count on the night to
hold everything even
And (G major) count on forgetting
that I will be leaving
When heaven has folded and let in the dawn,
I'll be (C major) gone
Verse 7
But (C major) now as the gardens
of softening nighttine
Are (C minor) blossoming slowly
around where we are
You and (Dsus4) I come together and walk (G major)
through the dreams of the stars
(C major)
Verse 8
So here while song of the deepening evening
Is (C minor) singing to me from the light in your eyes
We (Dsus4) can count on each other to move
to the beach of to (G major) morrow
And know where we've (C major) been
