 	  E 
  What a dream I had: 

A 
   Pressed in organdy; 

E                      D 
  Clothed in crinoline    of smoky Burgundy; 

A              B 
Softer than the rain. 

E 
  I wandered empty streets down 

A 
   passed the shop displays. 

E 
  I heard cathedral bells 

D 
   Tripping down the alley ways, 

A      B 
   As I walked on. 


E 
  And when you ran to me 

     A 
Your cheeks flushed with the night. 

E                             D 
  We walked on frosted fields    of juniper and lamplight, 

A        B 
   I held your hand. 

E 
  And when I awoke  

A 
   and felt you warm and near, 

E 
  I kissed your honey hair 

D 
   with my grateful tears. 

A      B 
   Oh I love you, girl. 

D     A   Amaj9 
   Oh, I    love      you.
