C C/A C
There's a soft rain tappin' on your window
C C7 F
There's a cool breeze blowin' off the bay
G7 G
And a warm flame dancin' with our shadows
F G
To music playin' far away
C C/A C
I never meant to stay an hour
C C7 F
I thought that I was passin' through
G7 G
Another town along the highway
F G C
I never meant to fall for you
F G C
But I can't speak for you, Maria
Bdim F
I only know the way I feel
F G C F
When I sleep with you, Maria
Dm G C
There's nothin' left for dreams to steal
C C/A C
On a Bible by the mirror
C C7 F
The only treasure's that we hold
G7 G
The only secrets that we're keeping

A watch, a chain, a cross of gold
F G C
I can't speak for you, Maria
Bdim F
I only know the way I feel
F G C F
When I sleep with you, Maria
Dm G C
There's nothin' left for dreams to steal
Instrumental: Bdim F G C
C C/A C
When the sunlight brings the morning
C C7 F
I can't tell you what I'll do
G7 G
But I've a mind to take you with me
F G C
And I've a heart to stay with you
F G C
But I can't speak for you, Maria
Bdim F
I only know the way I feel
F G C F
When I sleep with you, Maria
Dm G C
There's nothin' left for dreams to steal
F G C F
When I sleep with you, Maria

There's nothin' left for dreams to steal
