Love Song to a Stranger Joan Baez
Love Song To A Stranger chords
Joan Baez *
[C] [Cmaj7] [F] [C] [CCG]
[C]How long since I've spent a [Cmaj7]whole night in a twin bed with a [F]stranger
His warm arms all a[C]round me?[C] [C] [G]
[C]How long since I've gazed into [Cmaj7]dark eyes that melted my [F]soul down
To a place where it [C]longs to be?[C] [C] [G]
[Em]All of your history has little to do with your [F]face
You're [Bb]mainly a mystery with violins filling in [F]space[F] [F] [C] [G]
You [C]stood in the nude by the [Cmaj7]mirror and picked out a [F]rose,
[C] [C] [C] [G]
And [C]lay down beside me a[Cmaj7]gain and I watched the [F]rose,
on the pillow as it [C]fell[C] [C] [G]
[Em]I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one [F]care;
to [Bb]know that when day broke and I woke, that you'd still be [F]there,
you d still be [C]there
The [C]hours for once they passed [Cmaj7]slowly, unendingly [F]by
Like a sweet breeze on a [C]field[C] [C] [G]
Your [C]gentleness came down [Cmaj7]upon me and I guess I [F]thanked you,
When you caused me to [C]yield[C] [C] [G]
We [Em]spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep be[F]yond
Our [Bb]two days together which seemingly soon would be [F]gone,
Soon would be [C]gone
Don't [C]tell me of love ever[Cmaj7]lasting and other sad [F]dreams,
I don't want to [C]hear[C] [C] [G]
Just [C]tell me of passionate [Cmaj7]strangers who rescue each [F]other
[C] [C] [C] [G]
Be[Em]cause if love means forever, expecting nothing re[F]turned
Then I [Bb]hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to [F]learn,
[C]
[ummmmmmm]
Be[C]cause you gave to me oh so [Cmaj7]many things it makes me [F]wonder;
how they could be[C]long to me[C]?[C] [G]
And [C]I gave you only my [Cmaj7]dark eyes that melted your [F]soul down;
to a place where it [C]longs to be[C] [C] [G]
