There's a kind of hush    all over the world tonight

    Em7        A7
You know what I mean

Just the two of us     and nobody else in sight

                G                    A                      D
There's nobody else and I'm feeling good just holding you tight

So listen very carefully

GM7            G6                   D         Em7       D
Closer now and you will see what I mean -- it isn't a dream.

     G               G6
The only sound that you will hear

   GM7            G6                  D
Is when I whisper in your ear I love you

    Em7  A7 G/B   A7   D9   A7   G   A7
For ever and ev - er.

All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
