D            Dmaj7    F#m       Fdim 
The world is lyrical, because a miracle  
 
Em              A7       D 
Has brought my lover to me; 
 
Dm                       Fm    Em7 Fdim A7  D 
Though she's some other place, her face I see. 
 
    D      Dmaj7         Fdim 
At night I creep in bed,    and never sleep in bed, 
 
Em7  A7       G/B A7   D 
But look above in the air,  
 
Dm                 Fm  Em7 Fdim A7   D 
And to my greatest joy, my love is there. 
 
 
(Melody:) 
 
D   Em7  F#m7 Bm7 Bm7/E  D5+  Em      E7     A       Fdim   
She dan - ces  o - ver - head on the ceiling near my bed, 
 
A7  A  D     Em7  A              D 
In my sight, all    through the night; 
 
D Em7 F#m7 Bm7 Bm7/E  D5+  Em    E7       A    Fdim 
I try  to hide  in    vain underneath my counterpane, 
 
    Em7     A7  D   Edim  A7    D    Dmaj7 
But there's my love  up there above. 
 
Em          Em7          A7    D          D6 
I whisper, 'Go away, my lover, it's not fair,' 
 
Em          Em7           A7      D   Cdim         Em7  A7 
But I'm so grateful to discover, that she's still there. 
 
 
D  Em7 F#m7 Bm7 Bm7/E  D5+   Em      E7     A      Fdim 
I love  my ceil -ing  more, since it is a dancing floor,  
 
Em7      A7   D 
Just for my love.
