A Man And A Woman
(Un Homme et Une Femme)
Words & Music by Pierre Barough & Francis Lai
English Lyric by Jerry Keller
Recorded by Johnny Mathis, 1966


A     Em7  E7+5  DM7
When hearts are passing in the night, in the lonely night,

 Em7  A7  G/B  C#7
Then they must hold each other tight, oh so very tight,

Em7  A7 G/B CM7
And take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's light

 Am     CM7  Am    B7                     E
They'll stay to - geth - er  so much in love.


A  Em7 E7+5  DM7
And in  the silence of the mist, of the morning mist,

 Em7  A7  G/B  C#7
When lips are waiting to be kissed, longing to be kissed,

 Em7  A7 G/B CM7
Where is the reason to resist and deny a kiss

Am    CM7  Am B7               E
That holds a promise of happiness?


Bridge:

  Am   Em7   Am    Dm7  G7  G/B  Am7    G/B   CM7  CM7/6
Though yes - ter - day     still sur - rounds you

 C  Am7 Dm7     G           Am7  G/B  C   Am7
With a warm and pre - cious mem - o - ry,

F#m7  B7 Cdim     E         C#m7
Maybe    for to - mor - row

       C#m7-5  Em7       A7             DM7
We can build a new dream    for you and me.


  A  Em7 E7+5 DM7
This glow we  feel is something rare, something really rare,

Em7 A7  G/B C#7
So come and say you want to share, want to really share

Em7  A7   G/B CM7
The beau - ty waiting for us there, calling for us there

Am   CM7  Am  B7   Cdim  B7 Cdim  E          E6
That on - ly loving can give the heart.

  A  Em7 E7+5 DM7
When life is passing in the night, in the rushing night,

Em7 A7 G/B C#7
 A man, a woman in the night, in the lonely night,

 Em7  A7 G/B CM7
Must take a chance that in the light, in tomorrow's light,

 Am    CM7 Am    B7       Cdim  B7 Cdim  E
They'll be to - geth - er  so  much in love,

     B7       Cdim  B7 Cdim  E
To - geth - er  so much in love.

   F#m7    B7             
So tell me   

       Cdim   E
You're not afraid to take the chance, really take a chance,

 E  Gdim  DM7
Let your heart begin to dance, let it sing and dance

DM7 Gdim E
To  the  music of a glance, of a fleeting glance

 E Gdim DM7
To the  music of romance, of a new romance,

DM7 Gdim  E
Take a chance!
