A F#7 Bm7/5- Dm6 Cdim
I recall the story, that night of love and glory,
A A7 D6 Dm6
A night that left my heart romantic scars;
A A9 A F#7 Bm7/5- Dm6
We stood so near to Heaven that I reached clear to Heaven
E7 E7/5+ A6
And gathered you a handful of stars.
A F#7 Bm7/5- Dm6 Cdim
Sweet remembered hour when love began to flower
A A7 D6 Dm6
With moonlight through the trees like silver bars;
A A9 A F#7 Bm7/5- Dm6
And as the moon grew older, I reached across your shoulder
D9 E7/5+ A6
And gathered you a handful of stars.
Bridge:
A A9 A C#m C#m7 C#m C#m7 G# G#7 G#
I placed my fingertips upon your lips and stars fell in your eyes;
C#m C#m7 C#7
Moonglow made a halo of your hair,
E Fdim F#m B7
Suddenly you looked at me and dreams began to rise --
E E9 E E9 E E7 E7/6 E7
Oh, what things un - spo - ken trem - bled in the air.
A F#7 Bm7/5- Dm6 Cdim
Our hearts were madly beating, and then our lips were meeting,
A A7 D6 Dm6
And Venus seemed to melt right into Mars.
A A9 A F#7 Bm7/5- Dm6
And while we stood caressing, blue Heaven sent a blessing --
D9 E7/5+ A6
A shower of handful of stars.
