Intro 1
(C major)
Verse 1
Now is the (C major) glimmering
spinning beginning
Of something (C minor) I've prayed for
and counted the minutes
To (G major) be (Dsus4) in the shad (G major) ows
(Dsus4) of sheltering mead (G major) ows
Of night, here with you in
my arms. (C major) (E minor)

Verse 2
This is the moment that pauses to hold us
As you (C minor) and I move in a
background of wonder,
(Dsus4) Sur rounded by countless
enclosures
Of nocturnal (G major) unspoken music of (C major) joy.
Verse 3
(C major)
Counting times you have stood at the
foot of my ivory tower (C minor)
And waited, and called out
my name by the (Dsus4) hour,
And counted on the wings
of my heartstrings
(G major) To carry the sound,
I have counted on pleading,
You see how I need you, (C major) come down.
Verse 4
(C major)
And now between twilight and
midnight I come to you,
(C minor) Down in my gown of soft
moonbeams and starlight,
(Dsus4) Bright is the evening,
the breezes have fenced us
And (G major) nestled against us
Verse 5
(C major) You're here
And (C minor) warm.
Verse 6
And (Dsus4) mine till the time
When the dawn will awake (G major) you,
The morning will shake you,
The highway will take you.
Verse 7
But (C major) now all the rays of the moon
making bouquets
Will swim (C minor) through the luster of
lingering street lights
(Dsus4) We count on the night to
hold everything even,
And (G major) count on forgetting that
you will be leaving,
And destinies folded and then in
the dawn you'll be gone.
(C major)
Verse 8
But now as the gardens of
softening night time
Are (C minor) blossoming slowly around
where we are,
You an (G major) d I (Dsus4) come together
(G major) And walk through the dreams of the stars. (C major)
Verse 9
So (C major) here while the song
of the deepening evening
Is singing (C minor) to me from the
light in your eyes,
(C major) We can (G major) count on each other to move
to the beach (Dsus4) of to (G major) morrow
And know where we've (C major) been.
