Nor has my (Bb7)heart ev er (Ebm)spok en

I felt not the (Bb7)faint est flut ter,

when you brushed my cheek as you passed.

Nor will I (Bb7)wil ling ly clut ter

my life with these things that don’t (Eb)last.

Be (Cb)still my (Db)heart,

my (Db)heart be (Ebsus4)still.

Be (Db)still my (Bb7)heart,

my (Db)heart be (Ebsus4)still.

If our eyes should (Bb7)meet then so be it,

no need to trou ble the heart

that is den where (Bb7)no one can free it,

on ly to tear it a (Eb)part.

(Db)heart,

my (Db)heart be (Ebsus4)still.

Be (Db)still my (Bb7)heart,

my (Db)heart be (Ebsus4)still.

Be ware,

take care be still my heart.

Take care,

Aah
