[Verse]
F/C           C/G           F/C       C/G
Feel how the wind blows, December despair
F/C        Em/G       Dm         G
Bring me a ribbon to tie up my hair
F/C          C/G    F/C            C/G
I'll be your bride, go where you go
F/C       Em/B  Dm/A          G
All of my life, you'll be my beau

[Chorus]
C    Am  C     Am
Kiss me and I might
F            C
Put on the white dress
    Dm             G        C
If you'll take me dancing tonight

[Verse]
F/C                 C/G   F/C           C/G
The night's in your face, sky's in your eyes
F               Em/G      Dm            G
The day's in my arms when you're by my side
F/C              C/G        F/C        C/G
Whenever you're weary, I'll sing you a song

Whenever you're lonely, I'll show you, you're wrong

[Chorus]
C    Am  C     Am
Kiss me and I might

Come from the window, let's climb the stairs
F            Em/G       Dm         G
All of my sorrows are none of your cares
F/C           C/G           F/C        C/G
While life is in us, let's love all we can
F/C            Em/B     Dm/A          G
I'll be your woman if you'll be my man

Put on the white dress
     Dm            G       C
If you'll take me dancing tonight
