D   D7M   D7    D6 D   D6   D7  
If you hear a song in blue like  
  G7M   G6          Gm7    Gdim 
A flower crying for the dew 
E4/7     A9    A7/9  D  D7M    B7 Em7  
That was my heart serenading you 
      A4/7 A7/13- D  
My prelude  to  a kiss  
D  D7M    D7    D6 D  D6  D7    
If you hear a song that grows  
G7M   G6        Gm7     Gdim 
From my tender sentimental woes  
E4/7      A9   A7/9  D   D7M    B7  Em7  
That was my heart trying to compose   
      A7/13- A7 D  
A prelude to  a kiss 
Bridge  
Gdim        G     G/B    Am7 D7  
Though it's just a simple melody   
  G       Em7    Am7    D7  
With nothing fancy, nothing much  
Am7     G      E7   Am7    D7  
You could turn it to a symphony  
 G            A     A7/9-  A7/9  
A Shubert tune with a Gershwin touch 
A7/9 D  D7M D7   D6   D D6    D7  
Oh, how my love song gently cries  
        G7M    G6   Gm7      Gdim 
For the tenderness within your eyes 
 E4/7     A9   A7/9      D   D7M  B7 Em7  
My love is a prelude that never dies 
  A7   A7/13- A7   D   
A prelude to  a kiss
