Lyrics and Music by Stokes-Elliot [Intro] A E7 E7 A [Verse 1]
A
Last night as the stars

A               E
Were shining so bright

E                          A
I strode in the moonlight alone

A
It broke my heart

A               E
To think of our past

E                                       A
And it's just not the same since you're gone
[Chorus]
A      E         A
Heaven seemed so near

A                      E
Nodding while you were here

A
Now that you're gone,

A
I'm so alone

A               E            A
I can't seem to hold back my tears
[Instrumental] A D A A7 D D7 A A E E A A A A7 E7 A A E7 A A7 A7 E7 A A [Verse 2]
A                    E7
Maybe someday we can share

A   E7                          A
The dreams that we cherished so long

A                                         E7
While you're away, I'll be blue night and day

E                      D      A
And I'll wait here for you to return
[Chorus]
A      E         A
Heaven seemed so near

A                      E
Nodding while you were here

A
Now that you're gone,

A
I'm so alone

A               E            A
I can't seem to hold back my tears
