Come all you fair and tender school girls
Fm Cmaj7 Bb9
Be careful now--when you court young men

They are like the stars

On a summer morning

They sparkle up the night

And they're gone again

If I'd only seen through the silky veils of ardor
Fm Cmaj7 Bb9
What a killing crime this love can be

Under strictest secrecy

I wish I had the wings
C9
Of Noah's pretty little white dove

So I could fly this raging river

To reach the one I love

But I have no wings
Ab Bb
And the water is so wide
F
We'll have to row a little harder
Fm
It's just in dreams we fly
C9
In my dreams we fly!
