        "I am so mesmerized by you that I become
        oblivious of your conversation and would just
        stare at your beautiful eyes and face...
        I would hold you contentedly in my arms
        and behold your breath-taking smile...
        Oh, why am I so attracted this much to this person?"

         

         

        AFTER THE LOVING
        Engelbert Humperdinck
         
        
        Intro:  C#m  C#m7+M7 Cm7 F#m G#m A B C# B7
        
                E               Em7+M7  E7
        So I sing you to sleep
        E
        After the lovin'
                    F#m       F#m7+#M7 F#m7  B7
        With a song I just wrote yesterday
               F#m                 F#m7+M7
        And I hope you can hear
                        B7                                       E   F#m  B7
        What the words and the music have to say. 
                     E            EM7
        It's so hard to explain
                 E7                E
        Everything that I'm feelin'
                     F#m        F#m7+F#M7 F#m7  B7
        Face to face I just seem   to   go dry.
                 F#m          F#m7+F#M7
        But I love you so much
                      B7                                            E
        That the sound of your voice can get me high. 
        A                           E
           Thanks for takin' me
                F#m      B7             E
        On a one way trip to the sun.
        C#m                   C#m7+C#M7  C#m7
           And thanks for turnin' me
               F#m  B7   F#m  B7
        Into someone.
               
                 E                    Em7+M7  
        So I sing you to sleep
        E7           E
        After the lovin'
                    F#m      F#m7+M7       F#m7  B7
        I brush back the hair from your eyes.
                      F#m            F#m7+M7
        And the love on your face
                 B7                                       C#
        Is so real that it makes me want to cry.
         
                  A               
        And I know that my song
                G#7                 C#m  C#m7+M7  C#m7  C#m6
        Isn't sayin' anything new.
                     A           B
