              Am     E7      Am        E7     Dm7    Fdim          Am 
Speak softly, love, and hold me warm against your heart; 
 
   E7        Am        Am7+    F#m       F#m7     Dm 
I hear your words, the tender, trembling moments start. 
 
     Dm7+   Dm7     G7            Am      
We're in a world,       our very own, 
 
           Dm          E7sus4     E7     Am 
Sharing a love that only few have ever known. 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
             G7/B   G7                 C 
Wine colored days       warmed by the sun, 
 
               Bb   Dm               E 
Deep, velvet nights     when we are one. 
 
Am    E7       Am     E7      Dm7     Fdim     Am 
Speak softly, love, so no one hears us but the sky. 
 
    E7       Am     Am7      F#m    F#m7   Dm 
The vows of love we make will live until we die. 
 
   Dm7+     Dm7   G7             Am 
My life is yours,     and all because 
 
    Dm           E7sus4   E7      Am 
You came into my world so softly love.
