C               G                  C
It's up in the morning and on the downs
               G                     F
Little white clouds like gambolling lambs
           G              C
And I am breathless over you
                      G               C
And the red-breasted robin beats his wings
                G               F
His throat it trembles when he sings
           G               C
For he is helpless before you
                   G
The happy hooded bluebells bow
     C          G           F
And bend their heads all a-down
         G                    C
Heavied by the early morning dew
                     G                      C
At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook
            G                 F
The fishes leap up to take a look
               G              C
For they are breathless over you

Chorus:
            G
Still your hands
                C
And still your heart
                G                   F
For still your face comes shining through
             G              C
And all the morning glows anew
            G
Still your mind
            C
Still your soul
                G                F
For still, the fire of love is true
           G                 C
And I am breathless without you

The wind circles among the trees
And it bangs about the new-made leaves
For it is breathless without you
And the fox chases the rabbit around
And the rabbit hides beneath the ground
For he is defenseless without you
The sky of daytime dies away
And all the earthly things they stop to play
For we are all breathless without you
I listen to my juddering bones
And the blood in my veins, the wind in my lungs
And I am breathless without you

Chorus

 F         G                 F C
And I am breathless without you
