Lyrics

The (Bb)night

is like a (Gm)love ly tune,

be (Cm7)ware

my fool ish (Adim)heart!

How (Bbmaj7)white

the ev er (Gm)con stant moon;

Take (Cm7)care

my fool ish heart!

(F7)There’s a (Bbmaj7)line be tween love and fas ci (Bb7)na tion that’s hard to (Eb)see on an eve ning such as (A)this,

(D)For they (Gm)both give the (D)ver y same sen (Gm7)sa tion

(C9)when you’re (Fmaj7)lost in the (F6)mag ic of a (F7)kiss.

(F)His (Bb)lips

are much too (Gm)close to mine,

be (Cm7)ware

my fool ish (Adim)heart.

But (Bbmaj7)should

our ea ger (Gm)lips com bine

Then (Cm7)let

the fire (D)start

(D7)For (Gm)this time it (Gm7)is n’t fas ci (Gb9)na tion,

(Gb7)or a (Bb)dream that will fade and fall a (D)part,

(G7)It’s (Cm7)love

this time, it’s love, (F9)my (Cm7)fool (F)ish (Bb)heart.

The (Bb)night

is like a (Gm)love ly tune,

be (Cm7)ware

my fool ish (Adim)heart!

How (Bbmaj7)white

the ev er (Gm)con stant moon;

Take (Cm7)care

my fool ish heart!

(F7)There’s a (Bbmaj7)line be tween love and fas ci (Bb7)na tion that’s hard to (Eb)see on an eve ning such as (A)this,

(D)For they (Gm)both give the (D)ver y same sen (Gm7)sa tion

(C9)when you’re (Fmaj7)lost in the (F6)mag ic of a (F7)kiss.

(F)His (Bb)lips

my fool ish (Adim)heart.

But (Bbmaj7)should
