The Spirit Of Love Watches Over Me Chords

  			                    G                                       D 
    Thou art gone from my gaze like a beautiful dream, 
                                    D7                G 
    and I seek there in vain by the meadow and stream. 
                                                            D 
    Oft I breathe out your name to the winds floating by, 
                                         D7              G 
    but the sweet voice is mute to my cry. 

                G                                        D 
    In the stillness of night when the stars mightily shine, 
                              D7                 G 
    my heart fondly holds a communion with thine. 
                                                           D 
    For I feel thou art near and where e'er I may be, 
                              D7                 G 
    that the spirit of love watches me. 

                G                                          D 
    Of the birds in the bower now companion I make, 
                                D7         G 
    every simple wildflower I prize for the sake. 
                 G                                                 D 
    Deep woods and dark clouds can now pleasure impart, 
                              D7                   G 
    for the solitude suits my poor heart. 

                    G                                     D 
    Thou art gone from my gaze, yet I will not repine, 
                                   D7          G 
    e'er long we shall meet in a home that is thine. 
              G                                           D 
    For I feel thou art near and where e'er I may be, 
                              D7                  G 
    that the spirit of love watches me.
