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
