Recorded by Englebert Humperdink, 1976 (#8


G7    C           C/B  Am7         Am7/G
So I sing you to sleep af - ter the lov - in'

        Dm          Dm+7        Dm7    Dm6
With a song I just wrote yesterday,

       Dm           Dm+7   
And I hope you can hear 

           G           G7+             C
What the words and the music have to say.

G7        C        C/B            Am7           Am7/G
It's so hard to explain all the things that I'm feel - in' --

         Dm          Dm+7       Dm7    Dm6
Face to face, I just seem to go dry,

       Dm         Dm+7   
But I love you so much

           G           G7                 C     C7
That the sound of your voice can make me high.


Bridge:

  F               C        F       G            C
Thanks for takin' me on a one-way trip to the sun,

Am             Am+7    Am7  Am6       Dm7      G7 
And thanks for turnin' me      into a someone.


G7     C          C/B  Am7       Am7/G
So I sing you to sleep after the lovin',

       Dm            Dm+7           Dm7    Dm6
And I brush back the hair from your eyes,

         Dm          Dm+7         G           G7              E7                    
And the love on your face is so real that it makes me want to cry.

       F           F7          E      E7       Am        
And I know that my song isn't saying anything new,

         F         G       F            G         C      Cdim
Oh, but after the lovin', I'm still in love with you.


      D           D6   D           D6
So I sing you to sleep after the lovin',

       Bm                             Bm7
And I brush back the hair from your eyes,

         A7                                                     F#7
And the love on your face is so real that it makes me want to cry.

       G            Gm        F#7               Bm
And I know that my song isn't saying anything new,

         G         A       G            A7        D
Oh, but after the lovin', I'm still in love with you.
