[B]
Like a lover, [F#] the morning [B] sun slowly rises and kisses you [A#m] awake.
[F#] Your [G#] smile is soft [C#] and rosy as you let [F#] it play upon [E] your face.
Oh, how [B] I dream I might be like the morning [F#] sun to [B] you.
I might [C#m] be like the morning sun [B] to you.
Like a lover, the river wind sighs and ripples [C#] its fingers through [A#m] your [F#] hair.
[G#] Upon your [C#] cheek it lingers, never [F#] having known a sweeter [E] place.
[B]
Oh, I might be like [E] the river wind [B] to you.
I might be [F#] like the river [B] wind to you.
How I envy a cup that knows your [C#] lips.
Let it be me, [A#m] my love.
And a [D#m] table that feels your [Fm] fingertips.
Let it be [A#] me, let me be [D#m] your love.
Bring it [G#m] into the endless [C#] days and nights without [F#] you.
[B] Like a lover, the [F#] velvet moon [B] shares your pillow [C#] and watches while you [F#] sleep.
Its [G#] light arrives [C#] on tiptoe, gently [F#] taking you in [E] its embrace.
[B] [E]
Like a lover, the velvet moon [B] to you.
I might [E] be like the velvet moon [B] to you.
