D5           /C5        /B5
You are the beautiful lover
   G5 (or E5 )
My Lover
D5          /C5       /B5
  I am the distant shore
/Bb5       D5
  So far away
            /C5        /B5      /Bb5
There is so much to uncover
       A5      /
Love's hiding
             C5
What is this distance for
/             D5     B-  E-  A5    D5  B-  E-  G-  /
   What is it for

  D5        /C5        /B5
Out of the dark I am falling
    G5
I^?m fallin'
D5       /C5        /B5
   Into your warm candle flame
/Bb5
  So bright
D5          /C5                   /B5        /Bb5
   A butterfly pinned to love's calling
       A5       /
Love's calling
              C5
Why must this magic be named
/           D      /
 Must it be named

      B-         E-
We've filled the air
G-          A5
With silent stares
    B-           E-
But still no one dares
       E5    /
We are strangers
    B-          G5
The sad jealous praise
       E-       G-
As the symphony plays
    E-         G-        D5      /C5  /B5  G5
And we are the foolish arrangers
              D5       /C5  /B5  G5
The foolish arrangers
