   The winds of March that make my...  heart a dancer,
D           Bm                     Em7         A7
   A tele - phone that rings, but...  who's to answer?

For you've entirely en - chanted me

[Verse 7]
D              Bm                  Em7       A7
   The sigh of midnight trains in...   empty stations,
D                 Bm                   Em7        A7
   Silk stockings thrown aside, dance...   invi - tations,

[Verse 8]
D               Bm              Em7      A7
   The smile of Garbo, when the scent of roses,
D              Bm               Em7      A7
   The waiters whistling as the last bar closes,
D                D7         G
   The song that...  Crosby sings,
              G/F# Em          A7         D
These fool - ish   things re - mind me of you

[Verse 9]
G                Em             G              Gm/D
    How strange,     how sweet,    to find you still,
D6                   Cdim
    These things are dear to me,
     Bb                   A       A7
That seem to bring you so near to me

[Verse 10]
D               Bm                      Em7     A7
   The scent of smouldering leaves, the wail of steamers,
D              Bm                  Em7          A7
   Two lovers, on the street, who...  walk like dreamers,
D              D7           G
   Oh, how the ghost of you clings,
              G/F#  Em          Em7        A7
These fool - ish    things re - mind me of you, just you!
