D  D7M   D7  D6 D   D6  D7    
If you hear a song in blue like 
G7M   G6            Gm7    Gdim 
A flower crying for the dew 
E4/7          A9    A7/9  D  D7M    B7   Em7  
That was my heart serenading you 
          A4/7 A7/13-   D  
My prelude  to    a   kiss  
D  D7M   D7  D6 D   D6  D7    
If you hear a song that grows  
G7M   G6            Gm7    Gdim 
From my tender sentimental woes  
E4/7          A9    A7/9  D  D7M    B7   Em7  
That was my heart trying to compose   
          A7/13- A7 D  
A prelude   to  a  kiss 

Bridge  

Gdim         G     G/B    Am7 D7  
Though it's just a simple melody   
     G       Em7    Am7     D7  
With nothing fancy, nothing much,  
Am7       G       E7   Am7   D7  
You could turn it to a symphony  
  G                   A      A7/9-   A7/9  
A Shubert tune with a Gershwin touch 
A7/9 D  D7M D7   D6   D D6   D7  
Oh, how my love song gently cries  
          G7M    G6    Gm7       Gdim 
For the tenderness within your eyes 
  E4/7       A9   A7/9       D   D7M  B7  Em7  
My love is a prelude that never dies 
   A7    A7/13- A7   D   
A prelude  to   a   kiss
