[A] [E7] [A7] [D7]
The evening breeze, caressed the trees, tenderly,
[Bm7] [Dm7] [A] [C#m7] [Bm7] [A]
The trembling trees, embraced the breeze, tenderly.
[Dm] [Dm7] [E7] [Dm] [Dm7] [E7]
Then you and I, came wandering by,
[F#m7] [B7] [Bm7] [E7]
And lost in a sigh, were we.

The shore was kissed, by sea and mist, tenderly;
[Bm7] [Dm7] [A] (C#m7 [Bm7] [A]
I can't forget, how two hearts met, breathlessly.

You took my lips, you took my love, so ten - der - ly.
