A woman sensi-tive and warm, and that you were.

With pride and strength no one would test,

But yet have femi-nine fi-nesse, and so much more.

A female Shakespeare of your time,

     Em       Baug    Em7     Baug      D7sus    D7   D7sus  D7, B7
With looks to blow Pi-casso's mind; you were the best.

Your body moved with grace and song,

     Em     Baug    Em7     Baug    D7sus    D7   D7sus  D7, B7
Like sympho-nies by Bach or Brahms, neverthe-less.            Oh, oh;

      Fm          Caug      Fm7    Caug   D#7sus       D#7  D#7sus  D#7, C7
Would make hell's fire seem like a spark; where did it go?

     Fm       Caug      Fm7  Caug
Just why that you would over-night,

     Fm      Caug     Fm7  Caug         D#7sus D#7  D#7sus  D#7, C7
Turn love to stone as cold as ice, I'll never  know.
