[Verse 1]

                        D     Em
Tonight your eyes are an open book
C                             D         Em
Heart and mind combined in one timeless look
F                                     C
Two souls so close that they dream as one
                Em
Hold on to your hopes, my dear
    C          G      D
Our journey has now begun


[Chorus]

         C                   G
When two people surrender to love
              D     Em    D Em
The moment is bittersweet
      C                        G
Equal measures of laughter and tears
             Dm         G
The years of our lives
      C
Whatsoever forever may bring
              Bm       Em
Tonight it is destiny
        C                                  D  Em  C
Take my hand, precious time's passing by


[Verse 2]

                         D      Em
And now your sweetness is on my lips
   C                              D      Em
As wild as chance, you dance on my fingertips
F                                   C
My love, we'll bask in the moment's glow
             Em
For if it is ours to keep
      C         G                   D
We've no way in heaven and earth to know


[Chorus]

         C                   G
When two people surrender to love
              D     Em    D Em
The moment is bittersweet
      C                        G
Equal measures of laughter and tears
             Dm         G
The years of our lives
      C
Whatsoever forever may bring
              Bm       Em
Tonight it is destiny
        C 
Take my hand, precious time's passing by


[Bridge]

F                  C 
Under a blanket of stars
              G              D            Bb
The future is ours against time and tide
                       F
But when life runs its course
                 C                 D
Let's promise to meet on the other side


[Chorus]

         C                   G
When two people surrender to love
              D     Em    D Em
The moment is bittersweet
      C                        G
Equal measures of laughter and tears
             Dm         G
The years of our lives
      C
Whatsoever forever may bring
              Bm       Em
Tonight it is destiny
         C                                   D  Em
Touch my hand, precious time is passing by
           C         D  Em  C
Time's passing by


[Outro]

                        D     Em     C
Tonight your eyes are an open book
                                D  
Hold on to your hopes my dear
Em               C                                  D  Em
Ooh, a feeling so bittersweet (surrender to love)
                C            D  Em
Our journey has just begun
