Baez Joan - Love Song To A Stranger

^AHow long since I've spent a ^A7whole night In a twin bed with a ^Dstranger His warm arms all a^Around me? ^{E A}How long since I've gazed in the ^A7dark eyes That melted my ^Dsoul down To a place where it ^Alongs to be? ^E

^C#mAll of your history Has little to do with your ^Dface You're ^Bmmainly a mystery With violins filling in ^Dspace Hmmm-^Ahmmm ^E

You ^Astood in the nude by the ^A7mirror And picked out a ^Drose From the bouquet in our ^Ahotel ^E And ^Alay down beside me a^A7gain And I watched the ^Drose On the pillow as it ^Afell ^E

I ^C#msank and I slept in a twilight With only one ^Dcare To ^Bmknow that when day broke and I awoke That you'd still be ^Dthere You'd still be ^Athere ^E

The ^Ahours for once they passed ^A7slowly Unendingly ^Dby Like a sweet breeze on a ^Afield ^E Your ^Agentleness came down u^A7pon me And I guess I ^Dthanked you When you caused me to ^Ayield ^E

We ^C#mspoke not a sentence Took not a footstep be^Dyond Our ^Bmtwo days together which seemingly Soon would be ^Dgone Soon would be ^Agone ^E

Don't ^Atell me of love ever^A7lasting And other sad ^Ddreams I don't want to ^Ahear ^E Just ^Atell me of passionate ^A7strangers Who rescue each ^Dother From a lifetime of ^Acares ^E

Because if ^C#mlove means forever Expecting nothing re^Dturned Then I ^Bmhope I'll be given another Whole lifetime to ^Dlearn Hmmm-^Ahmmm ^E

Because ^Ayou gave to me oh so many ^A7things It makes me ^Dwonder How they could be^Along to me ^E And ^AI gave you only my ^A7dark eyes Which melted your ^Dsoul down To the place where it ^Alongs to be. ^E
