[Bb]
There's laughter in the darkness,
[Eb] Music floating across [Bb] the bay
He's half a-listening and wondering
[Gm] How he could have let her [F] slip away
[Eb] So long ago, but still he wants to know
If anyone [Bb] has seen her
[Eb]
[Bb] And he's sitting out at night
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
[F]
[Bb] They were young and love was shining
[Eb] Like the colors [Bb] of the rainbow
Desire felt like choking, [Gm] love was smoking
Under [F] the volcano
He [Eb] can still taste her kisses
Sweet as the red [Bb] wine from the sea
[Eb]
[Bb] Now he's sitting out at night
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
[Eb] Seemed like another lifetime
When they rambled along the shore
[Bb] Seemed like another lifetime
To use the calm and the sweet and the [Eb] night
Maybe in another lifetime
On a pathway to the [Bb] sea
Maybe there [F] they'll be
[Bb] The crowd calls for the [Eb] emperor
Raise their hands to [Bb] hail another king
But it's been so long a [Gm] wanderer
Another crowd can [F] never meet the king
[Eb] He came, he saw, he conquered
Ten thousand voices [Bb] roared in the arena
[Eb] [Bb] Now he's sitting out at night
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
[Eb] [Bb]
[Gm] [F]
[Eb] [Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
He is the chimes of [Eb] history
Myths of gods and [Bb] men forever in
Ancient dreams and all their [Gm] mystery
Wars for Sicily [F] and Spartan women
[Eb] In the midst of antiquity
Ships of war set [Bb] sail from Carthage
[Eb] [Bb] Now he's sitting out at night
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
[Eb] [Bb] Sitting out at [Eb] night
