S.J. Tucker - To my valentine

From ^Dfar away I'm ^Gcoveting your ^Dwhite violet ^Askin And^G missing the ^Dfall of your ^Ahair ^DWorlds away I'm ^Gcourting your ^Deverythin^Ag ^GAnd giving you ^Dall that I ^Adare ^GI long to ^Astay but the ^Bmroad has my ^Dnumber Still I ^Gdon't have to ^Dmiss you for ^Along ^GLittle did I ^Aknow, all these ^Bmnew thoughts of ^Dhome Come ^GTuesday or ^DWednesday I'm g^Aone ^DNever had such ^GValentines as ^Dthese on my ^Amind ^GAll the faces I've ^Dseen, the ^Aplaces I've been ^DThey don't stack ^Gup, even ^Bmat the same ^Ctime ^GTo you and your ^Awhite violet ^Dskin

^DHow can one ^Gclaim perfect ^Bmlove, perfect ^Atrust And ^Gnot know the ^Dwonders I ^Aknow? ^DDreams are all ^Gwell and good, but ^Bmmine live and brea^Athe Who ^Gknew? You came ^Dtrue, I s^Auppose. If ^Gwishing on ^Astars ever ^Bmfalls out of ^Dfashion We can m^Gove to the P^Dleiades with n^Ao backward glance Maybe ^Gbetween worlds and ^Ablackness I'^Bmll get up the ^Dnerve To ^Gfinally ^Dask you to ^Adance

There'll be ^Dspace for you ^Galways in ^Dmy harmo^Any Though ^GI never ^Dknew this ^Abefore ^DEvery note, "I ^Glove you," no m^Bmatter the ^Achord That's ^Gall any ^Alove song is ^Dfor That's ^Gall any ^Alove song is ^Dfor

^BmThe wild foxes ^Ddanced when ^Cyou laughed in your cradle ^GThe magpies fell ^Dsilent when ^Ayou learned to sing ^GImagine my ^Dluck, to be ^Cpart of your fable Where ^Gyou hold my ^Dheart like the ^Afruit in your ^Ahand ^BmThe mockingbird ^Dsang when I ^Clay in my cradle ^GThe pipers all ^Dplayed when I r^Aose up to stand I'll w^Galk all the r^Doads 'til I'm ^Cno longer able And ^Gtreasure your ^Dheart like the ^Asong in my ^Ahan^Dd

^GJust to say I ^Alove you in ^Bmwell-hidden ^Dways That's ^Gall any ^Dsong says, each ^Anote when it's played ^GThis one's too ^Ahonest, but you're ^Bmsmiling, I ^Dpray. ^GI am wide open, ^Donly a little a^Afraid

From ^Dfar away I'm ^Gcoveting your ^Dwhite violet ^Askin ^GAnd missing the ^Dfall of your ^Ahair With ^Djust a laugh you ^Grearranged the ^Bmworld as it ^Ais Spoke your ^Gheart and ^Dgave me leave to ^Acare I will ^Gever long to ^Astay but the ^Bmroad has my nu^Dmber Still I ^Gdon't have to ^Dmiss you for ^Along ^GLittle did I ^Aknow, all these ^Bmnew thoughts of ^Dhome To t^Gether me w^Dhen I am ^Agone ^DNever had such ^GValentines as ^Bmthese on my m^Aind All the ^Gfaces I've ^Dseen, the ^Aplaces I've been They will ^Dnever stack ^Gup, even ^Dat the same ^Ctime To ^Gyou and your ^Dwhite violet skin To ^Gyou and your ^Awhite violet ^Dskin
