 Kind of heaven eyes.

 Closing both my eyes,

           C
To see the heaven in your eyes,
   Gmaj7
Is not so far,

'Cos I'm not a-fraid,
           Ebmaj9
To try and go it.
            Ebm7
To know the love and the beauty,

Never known be-fore,

 I'll leave it up,
          B7
To you to show it;

    Em     E+    E/D    A7
And golden lady, golden lady,

 Waiting for the chance,
Em7                     F#m  B7
 Just to hold your hand.

Bridge 2:

           C
A touch of rain and sunshine,
         Gmaj7
Made the flower grow,
Fm7     Bb13
 Into a lovely smile,
       Ebmaj9
That's blooming.
            Ebm7
And it's so clear to me,
              Ab11       Ab7
That you're a dream come true,
F#m(add9)
 There's no way that,
        B7
I'll be losing;

And golden lady, golden lady,
    Fmaj7
I'd like to go there.

Take me right a-way.
