Love Song To A Stranger chords
Joan Baez *
C Cmaj7 F C CCG
C Cmaj7 F
How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger
C C C G
His warm arms all around me?
C Cmaj7 F
How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down
C C C G
To a place where it longs to be?
Em F
All of your history has little to do with your face
Bb F F F C G
You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space
C Cmaj7 F
You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose,
C C C G
from the bouquet in our hotel
C Cmaj7 F
And lay down beside me again and I watched the rose,
C C C G
on the pillow as it fell
Em F
I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care;
Bb F
to know that when day broke and I woke, that you'd still be there,
C
you d still be there
C Cmaj7 F
The hours for once they passed slowly, unendingly by
C C C G
Like a sweet breeze on a field
C Cmaj7 F
Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess I thanked you,
C C C G
When you caused me to yield
Em F
We spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond
Bb F
Our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone,
C
Soon would be gone
C Cmaj7 F
Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams,
C C C G
I don't want to hear
C Cmaj7 F
Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other
C C C G
From a lifetime of cares
Em F
Because if love means forever, expecting nothing returned
Bb F
Then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn,
C
ummmmmmm
C Cmaj7 F
Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder;
C C C G
how they could belong to me?
C Cmaj7 F
And I gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down;
C C C G
to a place where it longs to be
