1. Your smile beams like sunlight on a gull's wing,
                  C                             F             C    - F
    and the leaves dance and play after you.
                     C              F                                C         - F
    Take my hand and hold it as you would a flower,
                                   C              F                                  C       - F
    take care with my heart, oh, darling, she's made of glass.

2. Your eyes feel like silence resting on me,
                   C                    F                      C     - F
    and the birds cease to sing when you rise.
              C                        F                          C         - F
    Ride easy your fairy stallion you have mounted,
                                    C           F                                  C       - F
    take care how you fly, my precious, you might fall down.

3. In the pastel skies of sunset I have wandered,
                  C                              F                             C    - F
    with my eyes and ears and heart strained to the full,
          C                       F                      C           - F
    I know I tasted the essence in the few days,
                                   C               F                                  C    - F
    take care who you love, my precious, he might not know.
