that shines up on our car a (Dm6)van.

(A)Sleep

up on my shoul der as we creep

a cross the sands so I may keep

this mem ’ry of our car a (Dm6)van.

(D7)This

is so ex cit

ing in my arms

(Gm)as (Edim)I (F)thrill

to the (Dm)mag ic (A7)charms

of (A)you.

Be side me here be neath the blue

my dream of love is com ing true

with in our des ert car a (Dm6)van.
