(Cm7)blu er than (F)vel vet was the (Bbmaj9)night,

(Ebmaj7)Ours, a love I held (Ebm7)tight ly,

(Bb9)feel ing the (Bb6)rap ture (Bb)grow

(Ebmaj7)like a flame burn ing (Ebm7)bright ly.

(Dm7)But when she (Dbdim7)left,

(Cm7)gone was the (F13)glow of (Bb6)blue

(Dm)vel vet,

(Cm7)but in my (F)heart there’ll al ways (Bbmaj9)be,
