         G
There’s laughter in the darkness

 C                            G
Music floating in across the bay

           G
He’s half listening and wondering

 Em                              D
How he could have let her slip away

    C
So long ago but still he wants to know

               G        C/G
If anyone has seen her

          G
And he’s sitting out in the night

         C             D             G    D
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina

           G                          C
They were young and love was shining

                         G
Like the colours of the rainbow

   G
Desire felt like choking

           Em                  D/A
Love was smoking under the volcano

         C
He can still taste her kisses

                               G    C/G
Sweet as the red wine from Messina

          G
Now he’s sitting out in the night

         C             D             G
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
C Seems like another lifetime
                                   G
When they rambled along the shore
Seems like another lifetime
                                      C
She used to call him her sweet senor
Maybe in another lifetime
                         G
On a pathway to the sea

                        D
Maybe there they’ll be

           G
The crowd calls for the emperor

        C                          G
Raise their hands to hail another king

          G
But he’s been so long a wanderer

  Em                             D
Another crowd can never mean a thing

    C
He came, he saw, he conquered

                                    G    C/G
Ten thousand voices roared in the arena

          G
Now he’s sitting out in the night

         C             D             G
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina

               G
He hears the chimes of history

 C                             G
Myths of gods and men forever ringing

          G
Ancient dreams in all their mystery

 Em                          D
Wars for Sicily and Spartan women

        C
In the mists of antiquity

                                  G    C
Ships of war set sail from Carthagina

          G
Now he’s sitting out in the night

         C             D             G    C
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina

 G
Sitting out in the night

         C             D             G
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
