Introduction:
G C G
The lights were burning low and Mister Midnight made his way
D7 G
Old Father Time had trudged along to close another day
C G
The old clock ticked and seemed to say your heart is sad and blue
A7 D7 G
But just remember pal there's others broken too
C
I told the moon it was so hard to play love's losing hand
G A7 D7
When you thought you drew a sweetheart she was just a fickle friend
G C G
Don't mind my tears remember there's still a million hearts in bloom
A7 D7 G
So keep on shining though I'm pining silvery moon
C G
The trade winds brought a message in from far across the sea
D7 G
They said they saw the silver sails that carried you from me
C G
They told me you were drifting on upon an endless tide
A7 D7 G
And lonely seagulls hovered o'er you as you cried
C
If I could send a message on the crest of every wave
G A7 D7
They'd take you my forgiveness and two broken hearts we'd save
G C G
But instead I'll ask each little star to guide your ship back home
A7 D7 G
So keep on shining though I'm pining silvery moon
