    C G/B Am D G

Em   D    G
Upon a darkened night
  C    G/B   Am   D   G
The flame of love was burning in my breast
Em    D    G
And by a lantern bright
 C    G/B     Am   D   G
I fled my house while all in quiet rest

Em    C   G/B
Shrouded by the night
  C   G/B  Am       D
And by the secret stair I quickly fled
  Em   C     D
The veil concealed my eyes
   Em   C   G/B  D   G
While all within lay quiet as the dead

  Em     D   G
Oh night thou was my guide
  Em     C   G/B   D   Em
Oh night more loving than the rising sun
  C           G/B
Oh night that joined the lover
     D
To the beloved one
   Em   C    G/B  D   G
Transforming each of them into the other

 Em    D   G
Upon that misty night
  C  G/B  Am    D   G
In secrecy, beyond such mortal sight
  Em  D    G
Without a guide or light
   C     G/B    Am   D  G
Than that which burned so deeply in my heart

   Em     C   G/B
That fire t'was led me on
  C     G/B     Am      D
And shone more bright than of the midday sun
  Em    C   D
To where he waited still
  Em  C      G/B  D     G
It was a place where no one else could come

  Em     D   G
Oh night thou was my guide
  Em     C   G/B   D   Em
Oh night more loving than the rising sun
  C           G
Oh night that joined the lover
     D
To the beloved one
   Em   C    G/B  D   G
Transforming each of them into the other

(C G/B Am D G)

  Em   D    G
Within my pounding heart
   C   G/B  Am D   G
Which kept itself entirely for him
  Em  D    G
He fell into his sleep
 C     G/B  Am   D   G
Beneath the cedars all my love I gave

  Em   C    G
And by the fortress walls
  C     G/B    Am        D
The wind would brush his hair against his brow
  Em    C     D
And with its smoothest hand
 Em    C   G/B   D    G
Caressed my every sense it would allow

  Em     D   G
Oh night thou was my guide
  Em     C   G/B   D   Em
Oh night more loving than the rising sun
  C           G/B
Oh night that joined the lover
     D
To the beloved one
   Em   C    G/B  D   G
Transforming each of them into the other

(Em D G)

 Em   D    G
I lost myself to him
  C    G/B  Am   D   G
And laid my face upon my lovers breast
  Em    D     G
And care and grief grew dim
  C   G/B   Am   D    G
As in the mornings mist became the light

Em     C    G/B    D   G
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
Em     C    G/B    D   Em
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
Em     C    G/B    D   G
