[N]
[Db]
[Eb] I don't know how, but nights get [Gm] lonely now
You keep appearing [G] in my eyes
[Eb] Such a warm, [F] tender glow
For [Ab] just one moment, [Bb] I remember [Eb] all
The love we had, was never all that bad
[Dm] There were smiles and [G] there were tears
[Eb] On that special [F] starry night
[Ab] With your arms around
[Bb] Held on tight
[Ab] Wasn't that the [Bm] way
You [Cm]
walked
To [Fm] strangers in each and all
[Bb] [Eb] Class cars
[Ab] Wasn't that the [Bb] love
We shared
[C]
Were just the [Fm]
gasless years
[Bb] When no one [Eb]
cared
[Db] [Eb] I don't know why
It's hard to say goodbye
[Dm] Or even just, I [G]
began
[Bb] You meant so very [F] much to me
[Bbm] And to let you go
Start my life [Eb] again
The love we had, was never all that bad
[Dm]
There were smiles and [G] there were tears
[Bb] Till that special [Am]
summer day
[F] When [Bb] I reached out for [Ab] you
You [Bb] just walked away
[Ab] Wasn't that the [Bm] way
You [Cm] walked
To [Fm] strangers in each and all
[Bb]
[Eb] Class cars
[Ab] Wasn't that the love
[Bb] We [Cm]
shared
Were [Fm] just the gasless [Bb] years
When no one [Eb]
cared
