Lyrics

Close your eyes, ba by,

fol low my heart,

call on the mem ’ries

here in the dark.

We’ll let the mag ic

take us a way,

back to the feel ing we (C)shared when they’d (C)play:

In the (F)still

of the (Dm)nite,

hold me, (Bb)dar ling,

hold me (C)tight.

Oh,

shoo doop, shoo be doo,

shoo doop, doo; so (Bb)real,

so (C)right,

lost in the fif ties to (F)night.

Close your eyes, ba by,

fol low my heart,

call on the mem ’ries

here in the dark.

We’ll let the mag ic

take us a way,

back to the feel ing we (C)shared when they’d (C)play:

In the (F)still

of the (Dm)nite,

hold me, (Bb)dar ling,

hold me (C)tight.

Oh,

shoo doop, shoo be doo,

shoo doop, doo; so (Bb)real,

so (C)right,

lost in the fif ties to (F)night.

(F)night.

Shoo doop, shoo be doo,

shoo doop, shoo be doo,

shoo doop, shoo be doo,

shoo doop, shoo be doo.

Shoo doop, shoo be doo,

shoo doop, shoo be doo,

shoo doop, shoo be doo,

shoo doop, shoo be doo.
