Longfellow Serenade

C
Longfellow serenade, such were the plans I'd made,

For she was a lady, and I was a dreamer,

with only words to trade.

[Verse 2]

                    F
You know that I was born for a night like this.
                                   C
Warmed by a stolen kiss, for I was lonely..
            G7
and she was lonely.

[Chorus]

C                   Cmaj7 C7                  F       C     G7
             G
I'll sing my song..let me sing my song..
               F     C    G7
let me make it warm..for..you.

[Verse 3]

     C                                        F
I'll weave this web of rhyme upon this summer night.
      G                                     C
We'll leave this worldly time on his winged flight.
                                             F
Then come, and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade..
           C               G7         C
There I'll sing to you..my Longfellow serenade.

[Verse 4]

C
Longfellow Serenade, such were the plans I made.

But she was a lady..as deep as the river..

And through the night, we stayed.
                 F
And in my way, I loved her as none before.
                                           C
Loved her with words and more..for she was lonely..
          G7
and I was lonely.

[Chorus]

C                   Cmaj7 C7                  F       C     G7
             G
I'll sing my song..let me sing my song..
               F     C    G7
let me make it warm..for..you.

[Verse 5]

    C                                        F
I'll weave this web of rhyme upon this summer night.
      G                                     C
We'll leave this worldly time on his winged flight.
                                             F
Then come, and as we lay, beside this sleepy glade..
           C               G7         C
There I'll sing to you..my Longfellow serenade. (Fade.)
