Lyrics

Here am (D)I with you

in a (A7)world of blue,

and we’re (D)danc ing to the tan go we loved when (A7)we first met;

while the (D)mus ic plays,

we re (A7)call the days

when our (D)love was a tune that (A7)we could n’t soon for (D)get.

As I (G)kiss your cheek,

we don’t (D)have to speak,

the vi o (A7)lins, like a (Em7)choir, ex (Ebdim7)press the de sire we used to (D)know

not long a (D7)go.

So just (G)hold me tight

in your (D)arms to night

and this Blue (A7)Tan go will (Em7)be our (Ebdim7)thrill ing mem o (A7)ry of (D)love.
