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.
