Introdução: E7/9- 
 
           A9    Dm6 
Under a midnight sky 
E7/9-    F      Am 
Watching a single star 
A7          G     G9   C 
Thrilled by the beauty up above 
  E     E7/9-    E7 
Alone, just you and I 
E7/9-     F       Am 
With just a soft guitar 
 F        E7/9-   E7   Am 
Thrilled by the beauty of our love 
Am      Dm 
Close your eyes 
Am        Dm  D9 Em  F    F7/13 F   E7 
Rest your head on my shoulder and sleep 
E7/9-  E7    Am    
Close your eyes 
  Fdim         Am 
And I will close mine 
Am       Dm 
Close your eyes  
Am        Dm  D9    Em    F   F7/6   F   E7 
Let's pretend that we're both counting sheep 
E7/9-  E7    Am     
Close your eyes  
  Fdim      Am A7 A   Em7    A7  
This is divine    music plays  
Em7       A7     Em7     A7        
Something dreamy for dancing 
       Edim    A7 
While we're romancing 
     Cdim      Am7 
It's loves holiday 
    Dm7   F      E7/9- 
And love will be our guid 
Am      Dm 
Close your eyes 
Am    Dm  D9    
When you open   
Dm     F  F7/13 F   E7 
Them, Dear, I'll be near 
E7/9-  E7  Am        
By   your side 
E7/9-     Fdim      Am 
So won't you close your eyes 
Fdim  E7/13-   A 
Close your eyes
