1. I can hear the soft breathing of the girl that I love
F Gmi C
as she lies here beside me asleep with the night
F Dmi Bb Ami
and her hair in a fine mist floats on my pillow
F Gmi Bb C F Gmi
reflecting the glow of the winter moonlight.
2. She is soft she is warm but my heart remains heavy
and I watch as her breasts gently rise gently fall
for I know with the first light of dawn I'll be leaving
and tonight will be all I have left to recall.
3. Oh what have I done why have I done it
I've comitted a crime I've broken the law
for twenty-five dollars and pieces of silver
I held up and robbed a hard liquor store.
4. My life seems unreal my crime an illusion
a scene badly written in which I must play
yet I know as I gaze at my young love beside me
the morning is just a few hours away.
