Younger Than Springtime

	  		F   
I touch your hand 
Bb          F    C 
And my arms grow strong, 
F 
Like a pair of birds 
Bb              Eb 
That burst with song. 
Gm           D7 
My eyes look down 
Gm 
At your lovely face, 
Gm7            F/C 
And I hold the world 
      C7/F  C7 
In my embrace. 


F  
Younger than springtime, are you 
C/E 
Softer than starlight, are you, 
F                    Dm 
Warmer than winds of June, 
               F/G  G   C    C7 
Are the gentle lips you gave me. 
F  
Gayer than laughter, are you, 
C/E 
Sweeter than music, are you, 
F                Dm 
Angel and lover, heaven and earth, 
F/G     G  C 
Are you to me. 


Dm 
And when your youth 
C           Dm    C 
And joy invade my arms, 
Dm                   C        C11 
And fill my heart as now they do, 
C7   F                        C  F 
Then younger than springtime, am I, 
C/E                  F  C/E 
Gayer than laughter, am I, 
F             Am Dm      
Angel and lover, heaven and earth, 
   G C9   F 
Am I with you! 


C             Dm 
And when your youth 
    C       Dm    C 
And joy invade my arms, 
Dm                   C        C11 
And fill my heart as now they do, 


C7   F                        C  F 
Then younger than springtime, am I, 
C/E                  F  C 
Gayer than laughter, am I, 
F            Am  Dm  
Angel and lover, heaven and earth, 
   G C9   F 
Am I with you!
