A5             F#5         B5   D5      C5 
I recall the story, that night of love and glory, 
  A5                   A5             D5   D5 
A night that left my heart romantic scars; 
   A5     A5  A5       F#5      B5                D5 
We stood so near to Heaven that I reached clear to Heaven 
     E5            E5        A5 
And gathered you a handful of stars. 
  A5              F#5       B5  D5    C5 
Sweet remembered hour when love began to flower 
      A5                     A5                D5   D5 
With moonlight through the trees like silver bars; 
     A5     A5    A5   F#5      B5                D5 
And as the moon grew older, I reached across your shoulder 
    D5             E5         A5 
And gathered you a handful of stars. 
 
Bridge: 
A5  A5    A5   C#5  C#5  C#5      C#5     G#5         G#5     G#5 
I placed my fingertips upon your lips and stars fell in your eyes; 
C#5             C#5         C#5 
Moonglow made a halo of your hair, 
 E5           F5              F#5            B5 
Suddenly you looked at me and dreams began to rise -- 
E5         E5    E5    E5    E5   E5         E5    E5 
Oh, what things un - spo - ken trem - bled in the air. 
       A5              F#5         B5      D5      C5 
Our hearts were madly beating, and then our lips were meeting, 
     A5               A5             D5   D5 
And Venus seemed to melt right into Mars. 
    A5     A5    A5     F#5          B5          D5 
And while we stood caressing, blue Heaven sent a blessing -- 
   D5       E5        A5 
A shower of handful of stars.
