G            Em           C                D 
   hello my friend, it's morning, time to wake now 
C               Em     C                   D 
  your body and mine entwined will have to break now 
G              Em          C                D 
   i want your flesh, your warmth to stay beside me 
G            Em       C               D 
   oh, how i wish you could be deep inside me 
G               Em         C                 D 
   show me your eyes, your love, most tender feeling 
G                    Em       C              D 
   and i'll give you mine, be truthful and revealing 


chorus 
            G 
'cause it's you that i love 
         F 
And it's true that i love 
     C              D 
It's love not given lightly 
      G 
But i knew this was love 
         F 
And it's you that i love 
         C                | D | % | 
And it's more than what it might be 


Verse 
G              Em     C             D 
   when we're alone i cannot always face you 
G           Em         C                D 
   maybe my mood won't let these arms embrace you 
G               Em      C                D 
   that doesn't mean my love's somehow diminished 
G              Em      C                 D 
   give me the time to show our love's unfinished

   shed me your tears till i drown in your oceans
