  			G                     Am       C             D              G 
There's a cool breeze blowing through those cypress trees tonight 
                   Am     C       D       G 
Watch the embers glowing in our campfire light 
Em                  D 
I hear a melody, reminds me of you 
      G       C               D                     G 
As a cricket calls out to its mate, and the fiddle plays 
 
 
No crowded highways, sirens screaming in the night 
The stars above us are the only crowd in sight 
They're all looking down from their balcony views 
And a twinkle turns into a gaze when the fiddle plays 
 
Let's take a walk down to the river, and lose our clothes along the way 
Splash around in the water until the naked light of day 
There's no need for words when I hold you in my arms 
'Cause I know just what your gonna say when the fiddle plays
