Words & Music by Eugene McDaniels*

Em       Em9      Em  A7         A+7     A7        D9   B7   Bb9
Strollin' in the park,  watching winter turn to spring

Em      Em9     Em  A7         A+7   A7        D9   
Walkin' in the dark,   seein' lovers do their thing


Refrain:

G#7  GM7             G5  G6  F#m7                   Em7    B7
Oo - ooh that's the time,       I feel like makin' love to you,

GM7            G5  G6  F#m7                     C9        Bm7-5   
That's the time,            I feel like makin' dreams come true, 

D9  Cdim  E7   G/F#  G   A7/9
Oo - ooh baby.


Em       Em9     Em  A7            A+7     A7        D9   B7   Bb9
When you talk to me,   when you're moanin' sweet and low,

Em           Em9     Em  A7       A+7      A7        D9
When you're touching me    and my feelings start to show.


Repeat Refrain:


Em   Em9     Em  A7          A+7      A7     D9   B7   Bb9
In a restaurant,     holding hands by candlelight,

Em         Em9     Em   A7          A+7      A7      D9
While I'm touching you,     wanting you with all my might.

Repeat Refrain:


*If McDaniels' name sounds familiar, it should -- more than 10 years before writing this Roberta Flack hit, and recording under the first name "Gene" rather than Eugene, he had a series of hits of his own with "A Hundred Pounds of Clay," "Tower of Strength," and "Chip, Chip" among others.
