 VERSE
C               G                  C
It's up in the morning and on the downs
              G                     F
Little white clouds like gambolling lambs
         G               C
And I am breathless over you
                     G               C
And the red-breasted robin beats his wings
              G                  F
His throat it trembles whe__n he sings
          G               C
For he is helpless before you
                 G
The happy hooded bluebells bow
    C             G                F
And bend their h_ heads all a-do__wn
        G                    C
Heavied by the early morning dew
                  G                       C
At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook
           G                 F
The fishes leap up to take a look
             G               C
For they are breathless over you


CHORUS
           G
Still your hands
               C
And still your heart
               G                  F
For still your face comes shining through
            G             C
And all the morning glows anew
           G
Still your mind
           C
Still your soul
               G               F
For still, the fare of love is true
         G                  C
And I am breathless without you

G C G F G 

C                G   
The wind circles among the trees
       C               G                F
And it bangs about the new-made lea__ves
          G                  C
For it is breathless without you
                   G
The fox chases the rabbit round
    C            G                    F
The rabbit hides beneath the gro___und
          G                   C
For he is defenceless without you
                   G
The sky of daytime dies away
    C               G                        F
And all the earthly things they stop to pla__y
               G                  C
For we are all breathless without you
               G
I listen to my juddering bones
    C                           G                F
The blo__od in my veins and the wind in my lu__ngs
         G                     C
And I am breathless without you


CHORUS
           G
Still your hands
               C
And still your heart
               G                  F
For still your face comes shining through
            G             C
And all the morning glows anew
           G
Still your mind
           C
Still your soul
               G                    F
For still, the fire of your love is true
         G                  C
And I am breathless without you

 F       G                     F            C
And I am breathless without you
