Em C

[Verse 1]
G                C
Soft, she sings her song
Em             G
And sweet is the air
G              C
Moaning like a turtledove
Em              G
Longing for its pair

[Refrain 1]
Em               C
A wing across the ocean
Em             C
Moonlight up above
Em             C         G
A voice to carry you there

[Chorus]
G                 C
Please, would you sing
Em             C
Just a little while?
G           C
Let me escape
                G
The passing of time

[Verse 2]
G            C
And no secrets does she hold
Em                 G
That she would not share
G            C
Jewels, she knows are to give
Em             G
Not possessing fear

[Refrain 2]
Em              C
And you will find a ribbon
Em              C
Of gold in every song that
G
You hear

[Chorus]
G                C
Please, would you sing
Em             C
Just a little while?
G           C
Let me escape
              G
The passing of time

[Chorus]
G               C
Please, would you sing
Em             C
Just a little while?
G          C
Let me escape
              G
The passing of time

G   C    G   C   G   C   Em  Am  G
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh ohh ohh
