Dm9                    Em7
 Lay back in my tender-ness;
Dm9                          Em7       Am7
 Let's make this a night, we won't for-get.
             G
Girl, I need,  your sweet caress,
Dm9                   Em7
 Reach out to a fanta-sy;
Dm9                         Em7   Am7         D   E
 Two hearts, in the beat of ecsta-sy; come to me.

Let me touch you with my love; I can make you feel so right.
Amaj9                  Dm7         F/G                Cmaj7
 And baby, through the years; even when we're old and grey;

I will love you, more each day,
