[G]
[D] What [A] a dream I [C] had, pressed in [Am] organdy, [G]
clothed in crinoline [F] of smoky [C] burgundy, softer than the [D] rain.
[G] I wandered empty streets [C] down, past the shop [Am]
displays.
[G] I heard cathedral [F] bells tripping down the [C] alleyways as I walked [D] on.
[G] And when you [D] ran to me, [C] your cheeks flushed with [Am] the night, [G] we walked on frosted [F] fields
of juniper and [C] lamplight.
I [D] held your hand.

And when I [C] awoke and felt you warm and [G] near, I kissed your honey [Am] hair with my grateful tears.
Oh, I [D] love you, girl.
