Verse 1:

Dm                       C
 I, I love the colourful clothes she wears,
        Bb                              A7
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair.
Dm                        C
 I... hear the sound of a gentle word,
       Bb                                      A7  C7
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air.

 Close my eyes; she's somehow closer now,
Bb                                A7
 Softly smile; I know she must be kind.
Dm              C
 When... I look in her eyes,
         Bb                         A7  C7
She goes with me to a blossom world.
