              A                 E7/#5        A7/9       D9 
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly, 
              Bm7(b5)               Dm7         A   ( C#m7(b5))  Bm7(b5)    A           
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.  
      Dm Dm6 E7     Dm   Dm6  E7 
Then you and I came wandering by, 
F? F#m7      B7       Bm7(b5)    E7 
And  lost in a sigh were we. 
 
 
               A                E7/#5       A7/9     D9                    
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly; 
           Bm7(b5)              Dm7           A   ( C#m7(b5))  Bm7(b5)   A  
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly. 
     Dm    Dm6    E7 F?  F#m7    C?   B7             
Your arms opened wide and closed me in - side; 
    C?      A       F?    Bm7(b5)  Dm7(b5)   F?    A  D9 Bm7(b5) E7 
You took my lips, you took my love so ten -  der  -  ly.
