F
What a dream I had
A#               Gm
Pressed in organdy
F
Clothed in crinoline
D#maj7
Of smoky burgundy
A#       C
Softer than the rain

I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alleyways
As I walked on

And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields
Of juniper and lamplight
I held your hand

And when I awoke
And felt you warm and near
I kissed your honey hair
With my grateful tears
Oh, I love you, girl

D#    A#/D A#   F/A
 Oh, I    love you
