[C#]
[G#] [C#]
Take me to the night I'm keeping
Topsy-turvy, [F#] turning upside down
[C#] Hold me tight and whisper what you wish
What [F#] there is no one here around
[C#] [F#] You can sing [G#] some of these sweet [C#] smiles
Regardless of the city's [G#] careless frown
Come [C#] watch the new colors [F#] fade blazing [C#] into
Petals [F#] spray the violets of dawn
[G#]
[C#] [F#] Charming I'll be on [C#] two white streets
[F#] Take you down in dappled crown
[C#] Your [F#] tower's sleeping [C#] beauty
Oh you know [F#] I've ever loved the ground
[C#]
[F#] You can [G#] wear a Cinderella
[C#] Snow White [F#] Alice or Wonderland [G#] bed gown
Come [C#] watch the new colors [F#] fade blazing [C#] into
Petals spray [F#] the violets of [C#] dawn
[F#] [C#] [F#] [C#] If I seem [F#] to wander off [C#] in dreamlike looks
[F#] Please let me settle [C#] slowly
Let me [F#] just stare in down [C#] at you
A seeming [F#] stranger speaking wholly
[C#] I don't mean [G#] to wake you up
It's only [F#] loneliness just coming on
Come watch [C#] the new colors [F#] fade blazing into
[C#] Petals spray the violets of dawn
[C#] [F#]
[C#] Take me to [F#] the night I'm keeping
Topsy-turvy, turning upside down
[C#] Hold me tight [F#] and whisper what you [C#] wish
For there is [F#] no one here around
[F#] Magic in [G#] the sleepiness
[C#] Waking to [F#] a childish sunny [G#] yawn
Come watch [C#] the new colors [F#] fade blazing [C#] into
Petals spray [F#] the violets of dawn
[C#]
[F#] Thanks [C#] [D#] for [C#] watching!
