E
In the arms of gentle beauty
F#m
In the throes of auburn hair
Asus
I could babble on for hours
Bsus
And sleep right through your stare
E F#m
On that corner off of Tharpe Street Where I used to run and hide
Asus Bsus
I had visions in our passion That compel me to decide
Chorus
E
To love you forever
F#m
To call you my own
E
To make you my lover
F#m
To make you my home
C#m Bsus
F#m Asus Bsus
To build our own family To take on the world You?d make me so happy If you would be my girl
There?s a path in Cinque Terra
Lovers carve their hearts in stone
Where I gazed out over heaven
And thought of you alone
When the sun fell through the water
I stood and wrung my hands
Crying ?Lord show me compassion
And let me be the man?
I'm crazy about you, baby
I keep dreaming of our future
I keep whispering your name
I know my precious treasures
You hold all of them
I've been counting every heartbeat
I've been burning in my skin
Every second is a lifetime
So, baby take my hand
