Sandalwood Eyes

 

A                                         E                    D

…And you lit a candle and set it on the table

and you looked upon me with sandalwood eyes

            C                   G               D

Laid the flower that I gave you beside us

A                          E                     D            

And kissed me sweetly into that warm night

 

We spoke of wolves and of men on the tundra

As your cat laid suspicious nearby

And we spoke of our mothers and fathers

And kissed so sweetly into that warm night

 

Bb                    C                                     D

We stared for hours at the lights of the city

C                          G               D

As so many new lovers will do

Bb                             C                        D

 And the chill of the night pushed us closer

Bb                          C                D

As the warm fires inside of us grew

C                            G               D

As the warm fires inside of us grew

 

E                                            D

We sing the night with the voice of our bodies

Bb                         C          D

And we see with fingertip eyes

E                                         Bb

We share a heartbeat, and dance to it’s rhythm

Bb                C                    D   

So sweetly into that warm night

C                  G                    G 

So sweetly into that warm night

 

C                G                   D

So tell me sincerely now lady

Bb                        C                   D

With your sweet lips and searching new eyes

C                                G                 D

How I’ve known you forever and ever

Bb                C                     D

And why your star shines so bright in my life

Why your star shines so bright in my life
