D9  A    D9        Bm5-/7  E7   A    A7M C#m7 
We meet,    and the angels    sing 
    F#m    Bm7      Bm5-/7    E7    D9     A       C#m7 D9 E7 
The angels sing the sweetest song I ever heard. 
      A     D9       Bm5-/7  E7   A    C#m7 
You speak,   and the angels    sing  
   F#m   Bm7      Bm5-/7 E7   D9      A 
Or am I breathing music into ev'ry word 
 
Bridge 
 
A     A7       G           A 
Suddenly, the setting is strange 
A          G    G/F#  Em7      D9      A 
I can see water and moonlight beaming 
A       A7          G           Em7   D9       A 
Silver waves that break on some undiscovered shore  
      A    A7     G           A 
Then suddenly, I see it all change 
A             G     G/F#     Em7     D9      A 
Long winter nights with the candles gleaming 
E7                   D9      Bm5-/7  A 
Through it all your face that  I  adore 
D9   A    D9        Bm5-/7  E7   A  C#m7 
You smile,   and the angels    sing 
     F#m        Bm7   Bm5-/7  E7     D9       A       C#m7 D9 E7 
And though it's just a gentle murmur at the start, 
       A    D9       Bm5-/7  E7   A    C#m7 
 We kiss,    and the angels    sing 
     F#m        Bm7  Bm5-/7   E7 D9  A     D9 A 
And leave their music ringing inmy heart
