all the leaves on the trees are falling to the

sounds of the breezes that blow

and i'm trying to place to the calling of the
Am7 Bm7 Am7
heartstrings that play soft and low
Dm7 Dm7 Am7
and every time I touch you
Dm7 Dm7 Am7
you just tremble in-side
Dm7 Dm7 Am7
and I know how much you want me
Dm7 Dm7 Dm7 N.c. E7 E7 E7
that You cant hide
Am7 Bm7 Am7 Bm7

| Such a great song. One that is meant for a romantic night with someone you love. Just sitting outside and drinking some good wine and then take a little dance out near the crystal-clear water where the moon is shining down on. | |
