Asking Us To Dance

Kathy Mattea


Tom: C

INTRO: C


There's a full moon up and rising
                                   F  C
And there's a whisper of a breeze
                                    F
Blowing through the tangled silver
                         G
Hanging from the cypress trees


                        C           F  C
There's a river made of moonlight
                         F
Flowing clear across the lake
                                 G       
And there's a million stars just waiting
                        C     F C G
To fall for any wish we make


CHORUS:
   C      F       G    C        F
Darling tonight I am reminded
                                         G
How much these two hearts need romance
                                 
You know it isn't all that often
                    C
We get this kind of chance
             F          G       C        F
Why don't we get caught in this moment 
                                   G7
Be victims of sweet circumstance
                           G
Tonight I feel like all creation 
         N.C.   C

And there'll be time enough tomorrow
                                 F  C
To get back to our daily bread
                                           F
But there's something 'bout this evening 
                             G
That's put this notion in my head


                              C        F  C
That heaven and the earth are meeting 
                       F
Tonight upon this very spot
                                  G       
And all the things on earth worth having 
                              C     
Are things that we've already got


CHORUS:
          F       G    C        F
Darling tonight I am reminded
                                         G
How much these two hearts need romance
                            
You know it isn't very often
                    C
We get this kind of chance
             F          G       C        F
Why don't we get caught in this moment 
                                   G7
Be victims of sweet circumstance
                           G

CHORUS:
