(intro) C C/F

C                 C4
Like a lover the morning sun
C                 D/C        Bm7
Slowly rises and kisses you awake
      A4      A7       D9
Your smile is soft and drowsy
                 G4 G         F
As you let it play   upon your face
G/F        C                         C4           C
Oh, how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you
                      C4
(I might be like the morning sun)

C                 C4
Like a lover the velvet moon,
C                   D/C                     Bm7
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
     A4     A7       D9
Your eyes is soft and drowsy
                  G4 G         F
As you let it play   upon your face
G/F        C                         C4           C
Oh, how I dream I might be like the velvet sun to you
                      C4
(I might be like the velvet sun to you)

(intro)

C                                D/C
How I envy a cup that knows your lips
                  Bm7
Let it be me, my love
                                     Em7
And a table that feels your fingertips
                               F#m5-/7
Let it be me, let me be your love
                    Am7                   Bb
Bring an end to the endless days and nights
          G
Without you
