Come With Me

Lyrics and Music ©1987 by Bill Roper


One of the fortunate things about Gretchen is that she is perfectly willing to listen to love songs that I wrote for other women during my misspent youth.

b>G                 D
You are sunlight, I am night
Am              D
And so I shall await the dawn
   Bm          C
To see by rosy morning light
   Bm               C
If I should stay or should be gone.
   C         D           G                   Em
To know what magic might link your soul with mine,
    Am             F            Fmaj7            D
And if we walked together, what wonders we might find.

	G                Bm
	Come with me and take my hand
	F		         D
	And I will weave a magic spell.
	G              Bm
	We will fly to foreign lands
	      Am            D
	Where sorcerers and wizards dwell.
	C                D
	Dreams of wonder in the night --
	G                   Em
	Starlight shines to guide our flight,
	    Fmaj7                                D
	And all the things you dare to dream are real.


I am a poet, not a king.
No power have I save when I sing.
So I will weave my spell
And pray you listen well
And let your sunlight illuminate my night
And let the night's cool breezes carry you away in flight.

	Come with me and take my hand --
	Together we'll weave magic spells.
	We will fly to foreign lands
	Where sorcerers and wizards dwell.
	Dreams of wonder in the night --
	Starlight shines to guide our flight,
	And all the things you dare to dream are real.

	    Fmaj7            D                 G
	And all the things I dare to dream are real.
