Intro: The first couplet's chords can be used as an intro. 1st Couplet Bm A Bm Upon a darkened night G D G A the flame of love was burning in my breast Bm A Bm And by a lantern bright G D G A D I fled my house while all in quiet rest 2nd Couplet Bm G D Shrouded by the night G D G D A and by the secret stair I quickly fled Bm G D The veil concealed my eyes Bm G D A D while all within lay quiet as the dead Chorus Bm A Bm Oh night thou was my guide Bm G D A Bm oh night more loving than the rising sun Bm G D Oh night that joined the lover D to the beloved one Bm G D A D transforming each of them into the other Upon that misty night in secrecy, beyond such mortal sight Without a guide or light than that which burned so deeply in my heart That fire t'was led me on and shone more bright than of the midday sun To where he waited still it was a place where no one else could come Chorus Within my pounding heart which kept itself entirely for him He fell into his sleep beneath the cedars all my love I gave And by the fortress walls the wind would brush his hair against his brow And with its smoothest hand caressed my every sense it would allow Chorus Bm A Bm I lost myself to him G D G A and laid my face upon my lovers breast Bm A Bm And care and grief grew dim G D G A D as in the mornings mist became the light Bm G D A Bm There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair Bm G D A Bm There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair Bm G D A D There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair.
