	        Intro: Verse 

D             D7M     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      D7M           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 dances  overhead 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     D7M 
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 ceiling    more, since it is a dancing floor 
Em7      A7   D 
Just for my love
