You look to me like misty roses,
Gmaj7 Gm7 C11 Dmaj7
Too soft to touch, but too lovely to leave alone!
Dmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G13 Dm7 G13
If I could be like misty roses,
Gmaj7 Gm7 C11 Dmaj7
I'd love you much, you're too lovely to leave alone!
Am7 Ab7(b5) Gmaj7 Gm7 C11
Flowers often cry, but too late to find...
Dmaj7 Dm7 G13 Dm7 G13
...That their beauty has been lost with their peace of mind!
Dmaj7 Am7 Dm7 G13 Dm7 G13
You look to me like love for - ever,

Too good to last, but too lovely not to try!

I'll forget the past, you're too lovely not to try!

This is quite a short song,
when not including the instrumental verses
that appear on the album version.
Live, when not accompanied with a string section,
Colin repeats the last two verses 3 times.
