Lyrics

Here am I with you

in a (C7)world of blue,

and we’re (F)danc ing to the tan go we loved when (C7)we first met;

while the (F)mu sic plays,

we re (C7)call the days

when our (F)love was a (D7)time that (Gm)we could n’t (C7)soon for (F)get.

As I (Bb)kiss your cheek,

we don’t (F)have to speak,

the vi o (C7)lins, like a (Gm)choir, ex (F#dim)press the de (C7)sire we used to (F)know

not long a (Cm7)go.

(F7)So just (Bb)hold me tight

in your (F)arms to night

and this Blue (C7)Tan go will (Gm)be our (Gm)thrill ing mem o ry of (F)love.
