Am
It was late in a Lebanese restaurant, in the heat of a Lebanese night,
There was dancing, people were singing, she came in from the garden outside,
G Am
And in her eyes I saw the stars,
F Am
And I felt something happen in my heart
Verse 2
Am
Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanese night,
And the girl inside the woman, who came over to sit by my side,
G Am
And when she smiled, the whole world stopped,
F G
It was then I heard the echoes of a child
G C G Dm
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
C Am G
And the sound of the guns in the night,
G C G Dm
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
C Am G
From the hell that came down from the sky?
Am
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night
Verse 3
Am
We went down to the edge of the water, by the light of a Lebanese dawn,
And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war,
G Am
Her tears fell down, the sun came up,
F G
And I saw again the young girl in her eyes
G C G Dm
And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
C Am G
And the sound of the guns in the night,
G C G Dm
And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
C Am G
From the hell that came down from the sky?
Am
On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night
Bridge
Am G
All of my life, all I have known,
Dm Am
only a place where peace cannot go
Am G
All over the world, the gift from before,
Dm Am
nothing is left for the children of war
