[Am] When the twilight is [Dm] gone, [E]
and no songbirds are [Dm] singing,
[Am]
When the twilight [C] is [Dm] gone, [E]
you come into [C#] my [Dm] [Am] heart,
[C] And here in [G] my heart [E] you will stay, [A] while I pray.
I pray to linger with you at [C] [B]
the end of [Dm] the day,
In a dream that's [A]
divine.
I [E]
[A] pray, is a rapture in blue, [F#] [F#m]
with the world [Dm] far away,
[E] And your lips [A] close to [Dm] mine.
[A] To [D] know,
[A#] [Dm] [Am]
[F] [Am]
[Dm] oh tell me the word, [B] [E] to know [A] my prayer,
And the answer you give, [D#]
may they still [Dm] be the same,
For as long [F#m] as we live, [C#m]
[D] we live [E]
at [N] the end of my days.
[Dm] [A]
[D] [A]
