While your lips are still red

Intro: [Em][Bm][D][Am][Em][Bm][C][D]

 

1. [Em] Sweet little words make the [C] silence

Not so [D] young, heartfelt love not [C] heart-[D] ache.

[Em] Dark hair fall, catch [G] in the wind

Light the way the [C] sight of a [D] cold [Em] world

 

Chorus: [Em] Kiss, while [Bm] your lips are still [D] red

While [Am] he’s still in silent [Em] rest

While [Bm] bosom is still un- [C] touched

Un-[D] veiled on another [Em] hair

While the [Bm] hand’s still without a [D] tool

Drown into [Am] eyes while they’re still [Em] blind

[Bm] Love while the night still [C] hides the withering [D] dawn

[Em][D][C][D][Em]

 

2. [Em] First day of love never [C] comes back

Compassion, its [D] power’s never are [C] wasted [D] wrong

[Em] The violin, the [G] poet’s hand

Every thawing [C] heart plays your [D] theme with [Em] care

Repeat

chorus twice ...
