Lyrics

The stars lean (Fsus)down to kiss you, and I lie a (Eb)wake, and miss you.

Pour me a heav y dose of at mos phere,

’cause I’ll doze off (Fsus)safe and sound ly, but I’ll miss your arms a round me.

I’ll send a post card to you, dear, ’cause I wish (Eb)you were here.

I’ll watch the night turn light blue, but it’s not the same with out you, be cause it takes (Bbmaj7)two to whis per qui et ly.

The si lence (Bbmaj7)is n’t so bad ’til I look at my (Eb)hands and feel sad, ’cause the spac es be (Bbmaj7)tween my fin gers are (Cm)right where yours fit (Eb)per fect ly.

I’ll find re pose in new ways, though I have n’t (Eb)slept in two days, ’cause cold nos (F)tal gia chills me (Cm7)to the bone.

But drenched in va (F)nil la twi light, I’ll sit on the (Eb)front porch all night waist deep in (F)thought be cause when I (Cm7)think of you, I (Eb)don’t feel so a lone.

I don’t feel so a lone.

I (F)don’t feel so a lone.

As (Gm7)man y times as I’ll blink, I’ll think of you

to night.

I’ll think of you to night.

When vio let (G)eyes get bright er and heav y wings grow light er, I’ll taste the (G)sky and feel a live a gain.

And I’ll for get the (G)world that I knew, but I swear I won’t for get you.

Oh, if my (G)voice could reach back (Dm11)through the past, I’d (F)whis per in your ear.

Oh, dar ling, I wish you were here.
