Lyrics

In the still of the (Fm6)night,

as I gaze from my (Fm6)win

dow,

at the moon in its (C7)flight, my thoughts all (Fmaj7)stray to you.

In the still of the (Fm6)night,

while the world is in (Fm6)slum

(E7)ber,

oh, the (Am7)times with out (Bm7)num ber, (E)dar ling, when I (Am)say to you:

(F)“Do

you (Bb)love

as (C13)I love (Fmaj7)you?

(F)Are

(A7)you my (Bb)life to be,

my (C13)dream come (Cm6)true?”

Or (D7sus)will (D7)this (Gm)dream of mine

(Bbm6)fade

out of (Fmaj9)sight

like the (Bdim)moon

grow ing (Gm)dim,

on the (F)rim

of the (G#dim7)hill

in the (Gm7)chill,

(C)still

of the (Fmaj7)night.
