[intro]

       C                       C/B           Am7  C/G
As the morning light stretched in across my bed
             Fmaj9  Fmaj9        C     C
I thought of you,        mmm hmm hmmmm
  C               C/B               Am7        C/G
Remembering your laughing eyes and all we said
           Fmaj9  Fmaj9        C     C - C/B
I love you too,        mmm hmm hmmmm
        Am                 Am                Fmaj9           C - C/B
And as all my thoughts of you pass 'fore my face a thousand times
    Am                Am            Fmaj9     Fmaj9
The way you race my heart, I cannot say it all     in lines
C  C/B  Am7  C/G    Fmaj9  Fmaj9  C  C
[instrumental]

How the short time together lasts so long
Makes me strong, mmm hmm hmmmm
As two weeks came and went, then you and I were gone
Living on, mmm hmm hmmmm
For it seems our love was destined to be caught in other nets
But the love we held so brief I'd chance again without regret
[instrumental, 8 measures]

Yeah, standing by the road has been my song before
Much too long, mmm hmm hmmmm
But now somehow I'm forced to see me there once more
And that's the song, mmm hmm hmmmm
For my waking thoughts of you are but extensions of the dream
And without you here beside me, I'll never know all that they mean
[instrumental, 16 measures]

And as the morning light stretched in across my bed
I thought of you, mmm hmm hmmmm
Remembering your laughing eyes and all we said
I love you too, mmm hmm hmmmm
As all my thoughts of you pass 'fore my face a thousand times
The way you race my heart, I cannot say it all in lines
[instrumental, repeat and fade]
