Like a Lover (O, Cantador) -Dorival Caymmi, Alan & Marilyn Bergman
intro: Cmaj7 Fmaj7(B 5) Cmaj7 Fmaj7(B 5)
Cmaj7 F/G Cmaj7 D/C Bm7 Em7
Like a lover, the morning sun, slowly rises and kisses you awake
A7 Dm7 G7 Famj7 Em7
Your smile is soft and drowsy as you let it play- upon your face
Cmaj7 Gsus Cmaj7 Gsus
Oh, how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you
Cmaj7 F/G
Like a lover, the river wind
Cmaj7 D/C Bm7 Em7
Sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair
A7 Dm7 G7 Famj7 Em7
Upon your cheek it lingers never having known a sweeter place
Cmaj7 Gsus Cmaj7 Gsus
Oh, how I dream I might be like the river wind to you
Cmaj7 D7 Bm7
How I envy a cup that knows your lips, Let it be me, my love
Em7 Bm7 Em7 Am Am/G
And a table that feels your fingertips
F#dim B7
Let it be me, let me be your love
D/F# Gsus
Bring an end to the endless days and nights, without you
Like a lover, the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe, gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream, I might be like the velvet moon to you
How I envy a cup that knows your lips. . .
Cmaj7 Gsus Cmaj7 Gsus
Oh, how I dream I might be like the river wind to you
Like a lover, the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe, gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream, I might be like the velvet moon to you
Cmaj7 Gsus Cmaj7 Gsus
I might be like the velvet moon to you
Cmaj7 Gsus Cmaj7 Gsus
I might be like the velvet moon to you
This is without a doubt, one of my all-time favorite songs.
I'm posting, but it was my dear friend Michael who figured the chords to this.
