[Bb]
There's laughter in the dark.
[Eb] Music floating across [Bb] the bay He's half a-listening and wondering
[Gm] How he could have let her [F] slip away So
[Eb] long ago, but still he wants to know
If anyone [Bb] has seen her [Eb]
[Bb] And he's sitting out in the night
Looking [Eb] down [F] upon the lights [Bb] of Taormina [F] They [Bb] were young and love was shining
[Eb] Like the colors of the [Bb] rainbow Desire felt like choking, love [Gm] was smoking
Under [F] the volcano He [Eb] can still taste her kissing
Sweet as the red wine [Bb] from the sea [Eb]
Now [Bb] he's sitting out in the night
[Eb] Looking down upon [F] the lights [Bb] of Taormina
[Eb] Seemed like another lifetime
When they rambled along the shore [Bb] Seemed like another lifetime
He used to call her the sweet [Eb] Senorita Maybe in another lifetime
On a pathway to the sea [Bb] Maybe there [F] they'll be
[Bb] The crowd calls for the Emperor [Gm] Raise their hands to hail another [Bb] king
But he's been so long a wanderer [Gm] Another crowd can never [F] meet him
[Eb] He came, he saw, he conquered Ten thousand voices roared [Bb] in the arena
[Eb] [Bb] Now he's sitting out in the night [Eb] Looking down upon [F] the lights of [Bb]

Hears the chimes of [Eb] history Myths of gods and men [Bb] forever in
Ancient dreams and all their [Gm] mystery Wars for Sicily and [F]
Spartan women
In [Eb]
the midst of antiquity Ships of war set sail [Bb] from Cartagena
[Eb] Now [Bb]
