Sweet your eyes at Pie-di-grot-ta

Filled my soul with soft de-sir-ing
 2    -2â€  -3â€  3  4  -3   -3 -3â€
Trip-ping light-ly by thy moth-er
  -4    4   4   -3   5   -4 -4   4
Pearls and gold was your at-tir-ing
  4    -4   -5   5  -4   4    5   -4
Laced with gold was all your ves-ture

 -4   4   4   -3  5  -4   4
Great my long-ing is for thee
