8    -8   7  -7 -6 
The glow of sunset 

-7  7  -8 -6  -8
in the summer skies,

-8   7 -7  -6 6    
The golden flicker 

-6 -7   7 6  7
of the fireflies,

 6  -6     6  -5    5   
The gleam of love-light 

 5  5  -6 -4    -4
in your lovely eyes,

-4     5  -5    6   -6   7
These are the things I love.

verse 2

A silver moon beam peeking through the trees,
A bed of tulips nodding in the breeze,
The look you give in answer to my pleas,
These are the things I love.

Refrain
8   -8   7  -7      -6   6   
Oh, once I thought that life 

-4   5  -5  6 -6    6
was just a winter thing.

-4   5   -5    6
My heart was cold.

 8  -8    7   -7  -6 6  
And then you came to me 

-4   5   6    -6   -8
like a breath of Spring--

 -6  -7     7   -8 -8  -8  -6   8
You turned the silver snow to gold.

verse 3

The robin's serenade when day is through,
The babblink brook beside our rendezvous,
Your sweet voice whispering "Darling I love you,"
These are the things I love.

---A number of big bands had versions of this
--Jimmy Dorsey's comes to mind.
My favorite version was recorded in the late
50's/early 60's by Catarina Valente.--
