Like a Lover (O, Cantador) -Dorival Caymmi, Alan & Marilyn Bergman

intro: Cmaj7  Fmaj7(B5)  Cmaj7  Fmaj7(b5)

Cmaj7             F/G          Cmaj7            D/C         Bm7   Em7
Like a lover, the morning sun, slowly rises and kisses you awake
     A7                Dm7           G7     Famj7           Em7
Your smile is soft and drowsy as you let it play- upon your face
          Cmaj7                     Gsus4           Cmaj7  Gsus4 
Oh, how I dream I might be like the morning sun to you

Cmaj7             F/G
Like a lover, the river wind
Cmaj7                 D/C                  Bm7  Em7
Sighs and ripples its fingers through your hair
     A7            Dm7           G7     Famj7           Em7
Upon your cheek it lingers never having known a sweeter place
          Cmaj7                     Gsus4           Cmaj7  Gsus4 
Oh, how I dream I might be like the river wind to you

Cmaj7                             D7                    Bm7 
How I envy a cup that knows your lips, Let it be me, my love
      Em7        Bm7        Em7                   Am    Am/G
And a table that feels your fingertips
F#dim                B7
Let it be me, let me be your love
         D/F#       Gsus4
Bring an end to the endless days and nights, without you


Like a lover, the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe, gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream, I might be like the velvet moon to you

How I envy a cup that knows your lips. . . 
Cmaj7               Gsus4           Cmaj7  Gsus4 
Oh, how I dream I might be like the river wind to you

Like a lover, the velvet moon
Shares your pillow and watches while you sleep
Its light arrives on tiptoe, gently taking you in its embrace
Oh, how I dream, I might be like the velvet moon to you
Cmaj7               Gsus4           Cmaj7  Gsus4 
I might be like the velvet moon to you
Cmaj7               Gsus4           Cmaj7  Gsus4 
I might be like the velvet moon to you

This is without a doubt, one of my all-time favorite songs.
I'm posting, but it was my dear friend Michael figured the chords to this.
