Dmaj7             Am7            Dm7  G13  Dm7  G13
      You look to me like misty roses,
Gmaj7                   Gm7            C11     Dmaj7
      Too soft to touch,     but too lovely to leave alone!


Dmaj7           Am7             Dm7  G13  Dm7  G13
      If I could be like misty roses,
Gmaj7                    Gm7             C11      Dmaj7
      I'd love you much,     you're too lovely to leave alone!


Am7 Ab7(b5) Gmaj7                           Gm7           C11 
                 Flowers often cry, but too late to find...
              Dmaj7                           Dm7      G13  Dm7  G13
...That their beauty has been lost with their peace of mind!


Dmaj7            Am7                 Dm7  G13  Dm7  G13
      You look to me like love for - ever,
Gmaj7                   Gm7          C11   Dmaj7
      Too good to last,     but too lovely not to try!


Am7 Ab7(b5) Gmaj7                           Gm7           C11 
                 Flowers often cry, but too late to find...
              Dmaj7                           Dm7      G13  Dm7  G13
...That their beauty has been lost with their peace of mind!


Dmaj7            Am7                 Dm7  G13  Dm7  G13
      If I be - lieve in love for - ever,
Gmaj7                       Gm7              C11  Dmaj7
      I'll forget the past,     you're too lovely not to try!
