[Gm] Understand the [Gb] night
[Dm] When she flashes [Fm] her sparkling eyes [C] at [B] dusk
[Fm] She flirts with [Ab] twilight
[Eb] [G] When the noise of [Gm] day dies away
[Eb] The night and twilight stay and stay
[Bb] Making quiet [Eb] love up high [Ab] over the tower
[Abm] And the gentle [Gm] twilight gives his light
[D]
[F] Making a queen of [Ebm] night
If [Cm] I [F] could, I would write [G] a sonnet of the night
As a [Ab] remembrance of [Gm] your eyes
[C] And [F] if you'd promise not [Eb] to tell
I could whisper the words in the [Gb] dark
[B] Like a lover
[F]
We could count [F] the stars
[C] The shooting [B] stars
And [Bb] talk of lovers through the ages
Who had lived out [Eb] of their dreams
Such [G] will and spirit courage they needed to live in a [Eb] dream
To burn with every breath [Bb] so serene
As if they [Eb] had been the first to find [Ab] love at all
Like night [B] and [Gm] twilight
They were the first [Gbm] of lovers ever
[Fm] Could we be like them?
[Ebm] [F] Hold on to [Gm] one another
[Eb] Until dawn comes
[Bb] Then we'll fly [Eb] off and dream until [Ab] night and twilight kiss [Eb] again
[Ab] [D]
[G] [Bbm]

[Gm]
[C] [F]
[Ab] [Gm] [Eb]
My love
[Bb] [Gb] My one and [D] only love
Let [Fm] me take [Cm] you out under [B] the [Bb] moonlight
[Bm] [Eb] And show
[Bb] [Eb] How [B] the twilight loves the night
Why [Eb] he lives [Bb] for an [Eb] hour of loving
Through [Gm]
[D] lifetimes [C] of [Abm] longing
[Gb] [Abm] And [Bb] sings his [Fm] moonlight
[Bbm] serenade
