Upon a darkened night
C G/B Am D G
The flame of love was burning in my breast
Em D G
And by a lantern bright
C G/B Am D G
I fled my house while all in quiet rest
Em C G/B
Shrouded by the night
C G/B Am D
And by the secret stair I quickly fled
Em C D
The veil concealed my eyes
Em C G/B D G
While all within lay quiet as the dead
Em D G
Oh night thou was my guide
Em C G/B D Em
Oh night more loving than the rising sun
C G/B
Oh night that joined the lover
D
To the beloved one
Em C G/B D G
Transforming each of them into the other
Em D G
Upon that misty night
C G/B Am D G
In secrecy, beyond such mortal sight
Em D G
Without a guide or light
C G/B Am D G
Than that which burned so deeply in my heart
Em C G/B
That fire t'was led me on
C G/B Am D
And shone more bright than of the midday sun
Em C D
To where he waited still
Em C G/B D G
It was a place where no one else could come
Em D G
Oh night thou was my guide
Em C G/B D Em
Oh night more loving than the rising sun
C G
Oh night that joined the lover
D
To the beloved one
Em C G/B D G
Transforming each of them into the other
( Em D G )
( C G/B Am D G )
( Em D G )
( C G/B Am D G )
Em D G
Within my pounding heart
C G/B Am D G
Which kept itself entirely for him
Em D G
He fell into his sleep
C G/B Am D G
Beneath the cedars all my love I gave
Em C G
And by the fortress walls
C G/B Am D
The wind would brush his hair against his brow
Em C D
And with its smoothest hand
Em C G/B D G
Caressed my every sense it would allow
Em D G
Oh night thou was my guide
Em C G/B D Em
Oh night more loving than the rising sun
C G/B
Oh night that joined the lover
D
To the beloved one
Em C G/B D G
Transforming each of them into the other
( Em D G )
( C G/B Am D G )
( Em D G )
( C G/B Am D G )
( Em D G )
( C G/B Am D G )
( Em D G )
( C G/B Am D G )
Em D G
I lost myself to him
C G/B Am D G
And laid my face upon my lovers breast
Em D G
And care and grief grew dim
C G/B Am D G
As in the mornings mist became the light
Em C G/B D G
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
Em C G/B D Em
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
Em C G/B D G
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
