G D
Now touch the air softly,
A
Step gently. One, two...
D G
I'll love you till roses
A
Are robin's-egg blue;
I'll love you till gravel
D G
Is eaten for bread,
E
And lemons are orange,
A
And lavender's red.
[Verse 2]
G D
Now touch the air softly,
A
Swing gently the broom.
D
I'll love you till windows
Are all of a room;
G
And the table is laid,
D G
And the table is bare,
And the ceiling reposes
A
On bottomless air.
[Chorus]
G
I'll love you till Heaven
Bm
Rips the stars from his coat,
G
And the Moon rows away in
Bm
A glass-bottomed boat;
G
And Orion steps down
D
Like a diver below,
E
And Earth is ablaze,
A
And Ocean aglow.
[Chorus]
G
I'll love you till Heaven
Bm
Rips the stars from his coat,
G
And the Moon rows away in
Bm
A glass-bottomed boat;
G
And Orion steps down
D
Like a diver below,
E
And Earth is ablaze,
A
And Ocean aglow.
[Verse 3]
G D
So touch the air softly,
A
And swing the broom high.
D
We will dust the gray mountains,
And sweep the blue sky;
G
And I'll love you as long
D
As the furrow the plow,
A
As However is Ever,
D
And Ever is Now.
G
And I'll love you as long
D
As the furrow the plow,
A
As However is Ever,
D
And Ever is Now.
