                  Eb                                         Gm7/D  
I don't know how,         but nights get lonely now
        Dm7                                    G7                         Eb                                      F7  
They keep appearing in my eyes,      such a warm and tender glow
             Ab                                      Bb  
For just one moment,    I remember all
                             Eb                                         Gm7/D  
The love we had, was never all that bad
                     Dm7                                 G7                                 Eb  
There were smiles and there were tears
                                          F7  
On that special starry night
                Ab                                      Bb  
With your arms around me,      held on tight
     Ab                                             Cm7                                              Fm7                         Bb  
Wasn't that the way, it was,    two strangers reaching for
                                  Eb7         Ab                                                          Cm7  
A worthless cause? Wasn't that the love,      we shared
                                  Fm7                                    Ab                            Eb  
Or just the restless years, when no-one, cared
                  Eb                                         Gm7/D  
I don't know why,      it's hard to say goodbye
        Dm7                                    G7      Eb                                         F7  
Or even justify the end,         you meant so very much to me
                  Ab                                                 Bb  
Then to let you go,      start my life again
                             Eb                                         Gm7/D  
The love we had,         was never all that bad
                     Dm7                                 G7                                 Eb  
There were smiles and there were tears
                                          F7                                    Ab  
Till that special summer day, when I reached out for you
             Bb  
You just walked away
Ab                                             Cm7                                              Fm7                         Bb  
Wasn't that the way, it was,    two strangers reaching for
                                  Eb7         Ab                                                          Cm7  
A worthless cause? Wasn't that the love,      we shared
                                  Fm7                                    Ab                            Eb    Gm7/D    Ab    Db9  
Or just the restless years, when no-one, cared
Eb    Gm7/D    Ab    Db9    Eb  
Ahh
