INTRO:

    
    
    

 VERSE
                                 
It's up in the morning and on the downs
                                   
Little white clouds like gambolling lambs
                        
And I am breathless over you
                                    
And the red-breasted robin beats his wings
                                
His throat it trembles whe__n he sings
                         
For he is helpless before you
                 
The happy hooded bluebells bow
                                 
And bend their h_ heads all a-do__wn
                            
Heavied by the early morning dew
                                         
At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook
                            
The fishes leap up to take a look
                            
For they are breathless over you


CHORUS
           
Still your hands
               
And still your heart
                                 
For still your face comes shining through
                         
And all the morning glows anew
           
Still your mind
           
Still your soul
                              
For still, the fare of love is true
                           
And I am breathless without you

     

                   
The wind circles among the trees
                                      
And it bangs about the new-made lea__ves
                            
For it is breathless without you
                   
The fox chases the rabbit round
                                    
The rabbit hides beneath the gro___und
                             
For he is defenceless without you
                   
The sky of daytime dies away
                                           
And all the earthly things they stop to pla__y
                                 
For we are all breathless without you
               
I listen to my juddering bones
                                               
The blo__od in my veins and the wind in my lu__ngs
                              
And I am breathless without you


CHORUS
           
Still your hands
               
And still your heart
                                 
For still your face comes shining through
                         
And all the morning glows anew
           
Still your mind
           
Still your soul
                                   
For still, the fire of your love is true
                           
And I am breathless without you

                                         
And I am breathless without you
