A night in summer long ago - Mark Knopfler
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A C#m D
My lady may I have this dance
Bm E
Forgive a knight who knows no shame
A C#m D
My lady may I have this dance
Bm E A
And lady may I have your name
D
You danced upon a soldiers arm
Bm E
And I felt the blade of love so keen
A C#m D
And when you smiled you did me harm
Bm E A
And I was drawn to you, my queen
A C#m D
Now these boots may take me where they will
Bm E
Though they may never shine like his
A C#m D
There is no knight I would not kill
Bm E A
To have my ladys hand to kiss
C#m D
Yes and they did take me through the hall
Bm E
To leave me not one breath from you
A C#m D
And they fell silent one and all
Bm E A
And you could see my heart was true
A C#m D
Then I did lead you from the hall
Bm E
And we did ride upon the hill
A C#m D
Away beyond the city wall
Bm E A
And sure you are my lady still
C#m D
A night in summer long ago
Bm E
The stars were falling from the sky
A C#m D
And still, my heart, I have to know
Bm E A
Why do you love me, lady, why?
