Instrumental Intro: Intro:

DM7 - Em/D - D - DM7 - G - Gm - D - F#m - Bm -  Bm7 -  G  -  A7


D              A7            D       DM7      G  -  Gm
Lady, are you crying? Do the tears belong to me?

           D               DM7           Em    -     A
Did you think our time together was all gone?

D                   A7                D       DM7   G  -  Gm
Lady, you've been dreaming -- I'm as close as I can be,

      D        Bm       G        A7     D    -    D7               
And I swear to you our time has just begun.


Bridge:

   G                 A                D   -   D7
Close your eyes and rest your weary mind;

   G              A                 D      -   D7
I promise I will stay right here beside you.

G                     A                 D    -   D7
Today our lives were joined, became entwined;

    Bm                  Bm7            G     A   -   A7
I wish that you could know how much I love you.


Lady, are you happy? Do you feel the way I feel?
Are there meanings that you've never seen before?
Lady, my sweet lady, I just can't believe it's true,
And it's like I've never ever loved before.


Repeat Bridge:


Lady, are you crying? Do the tears belong to me?
Did you think our time together was all gone?
Lady, you've been dreaming -- I'm as close as I can be,
And I swear to you our time has just begun.
