Lyrics

(Bb+)What (Eb)good is the (Cm)dawn

that (Ebm7)grows in to (Fm7)day?

The (Eb)sun set at (Cm)night

or don’t liv ing this (Fm7)way?

For (G)I have the (C)warmth of the sun,

with (F9)in me at (Bbmaj7)night.

The (Eb)love of my (Cm)life,

she (Ebm7)left me one (Fm7)day;

I (Eb)cried when she (Cm)said,

“I don’t feel the same (Fm7)way.”

Still (G)I’ll have the (C)warmth of the sun,

with (F9)in me to (Bbmaj7)night.

The (Bbmaj7)night.

(B)I’ll (E)dream of her (C#m)arms

and (Em7)though they’re not (F#m7)real,

just (E)like she’s still (C#m)theirs

the (Em7)way that I (F#m7)feel.

My (G#)love’s like the (C#)warmth of the sun,

it (F#9)won’t ev er (Bmaj7)die.

(E)Ooh.

(E)Ooh.
