Often As I May

D             F# A  E
I love him,        as often as I may,
C#         G#           F#             C#
and I will give him before it goes away,
B            C#            F#                      C#
the grass and wine brought love that makes him laugh and gentle.

C#     G#      F#               D#
Look! at him he/she may be smiling,
C#         G#     F#              D#
the eyes so wide and black and acid clear,
B           C#              F#                   C#
not exactly knowing why he/she stays when he/she speaks of leaving.

F#              G#                    A#
He/she won't say in time, I want to love tomorrow,
        G#
he/she knows the one I love,
        D#
your trying is never quite the same,
B             C#              F#                   C#
but It's so near and with that in mind, I'll ask to borrow him

C#   G#      F#                  D#
Look!At the love that has him moving on,
    G#       F#                       D#
and On, Stop anything that takes the loving ball,
B                C#         F#               C#      (D E)
and when he/she loses every soft word that I say,
          C#
He'll go away.
