Lyrics

[Intro]
| Dmaj7 | Em/D | D | Em/D |

[Verse 1]
Dmaj7     Em/D
Lady, are you crying,
   D           Dmaj7   G/D Gm/D
do the tears belong to me
    D         Dmaj7       D6    D     Em
Did you think our  time together was all gone
A7 Dmaj7        Em/D
   Lady, you've been dreaming,
    D           Dmaj7  G/D  Gm/D
I'm as close as I    can  be
D               Dmaj7
 And I swear to you
Em         A7           D D7
  our time has just begun

[Chorus]
G                   A7              D
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
D7 G                  A7             D
  I promise I will stay right here beside you
D7  G                  A7
  Today our lives were joined,
        D
became entwined
  Bm                     Bm7             Em A7
I wish that you could know  how much I love you

[Verse 2]
Dmaj7         Em/D
Lady, are you happy,
       D        Dmaj7  G/D Gm/D
do you feel the way  I do
    D             Dmaj7            D6   D           Em
Are there meanings     that you've never seen before
A7 Dmaj7         Em/D
   Lady, my sweet    lady,
  D            Dmaj7      G/D Gm/D
I just can't believe it's true
    D         Dmaj7
And it's like I've never,
Em   A7      D   D7
ever loved before

[Chorus]
G                   A7              D
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind
D7 G                  A7             D
  I promise I will stay right here beside you
D7  G                      A7
  Today our lives were joined,
        D
became entwined
  Bm                     Bm7             Em A7
I wish that you could know  how much I love you

[Verse 3]
Dmaj7     Em/D
Lady, are you crying,
   D           Dmaj7   G/D Gm/D
do the tears belong to me
    D         Dmaj7       D6    D     Em
Did you think our  time together was all gone
A7 Dmaj7    Em/D
   Lady, my sweet lady,
    D           Dmaj7    G/D Gm/D
I'm as close as I    can be
    D             Dmaj7  Em     A7           D
And I swear to you     our time has just begun
