  			Renaissance 
D(Bass D C# B A then Back up ##############    
I like way your hair falls away when the night brings a candle to 
 Em 
you 
        A7                                                                           
And like to stare as you come down the stair and the light from the 
                D 
landing shines thru 
D                                                                                            
And how many leaves will it take to believe that autumn has finally 
 Em 
come 
      A7                                                                           
The grown colder and we've both grown older it's hard to believe 
              D 
we're still one 

Chorus 

G                F#m                  Em 
Let's dance that old dance once more, still move as smooth on that 
 F#m          F#m7 
old ballroom floor 
G                         F#m 
I'll wear my Sunday best, you wear your favourite dress 
Em                  A7                                D 
Lock up the door, and lets dance that old dance once more 
                                                                          
You hung around my feet on the ground when I acted as proud as a fool 
We were kids and we've grown, we've got kids of our own  Got to raise by the old golden rule 
Somehow it seems, some of our dreams got discarded somewhere on the road 
When all that was true could be found in the blue of your eyes that still sparkle and glow 

Chorus . 

The frosting has come and with a flick of his thumb turned the windows to renaissance art 
As we sit round the fire with no need to enquire about the ways of the soul and the heart 
Years passed us by like a soft whispered sigh not noticing youth as it flew 
It's easy to tell that you wear your age well not trying to prove you're still you
