D                   G
Baby, when I think about you,
              D  G
I think about love.
D                          G
Darling, couldn't live without you, 
         D  G
and your love.
     D                G             D      G
If I had those golden dreams, of my yesterday
        D
I would wrap you, 
       G
In the heavens,
            D                           G
And feel it dying (dying, dying) on the way
                   D 3x
I feel like making
          C      G       D
Feel like making love to you

Baby, when I think about you,
I think about love.
Darling, couldn't live without you, 
and your love.

And if I had, the sun and moon,
and they were shining 
I would give you both night and day,
love satisfying
I feel like making

And if I had those golden dreams, of my yesterday
I would wrap you, 
In the heavens,
And feel it dying (dying, dying) on the way
I feel like making

Feel Like Making Love Alt. Version
