              A                 E7/5+        A7/9       D9 
The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly, 
 
              Bm7/5-               Dm7         A   (C#m7/5-)  Bm7/5-    A           
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly.

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

The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly; 
 
           Bm7/5-              Dm7           A   (C#m7/5-)  Bm7/5-    A  
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly.

Your arms opened wide and closed me in - side;

You took my lips, you took my love so ten -  der  -  ly.
