My one and only love
Em                    C                 Em
I’ve been lonely long enough

Will I find you when the night is over?

Tell me where did you go?

I’ve been searching high and low

I have only ’til the night is over

Em
In every window, I pass
Em                 C                 Em
Your reflection in the glass
D                                 G                                 D
Makes me wonder if my mind is going
Em
Shadows shifting in the rain
Em                                 C
Slowly driving me insane
D                 G                 D                 C                 Em
By the stars above, I know we were in love
D                 G                                 D
I have only til the night is over

I feel the weather change
Em      G          D     C   Em    D   G    D
I hear the river say your name
Em                 G                 D
I watch the birds fly by
Em G D C Em D G D
I see an emerald in the sky

[Instrumental Break]
Em
Em     G           D               Em
Now the trail has gone cold
G                 D                 C                 Em
I don’t know where else to go
D                 G                                 D
And my time, I fear, is nearly over
Em                 G      D               Em
When the ocean drinks the sky
G         D      C                     Em
And the city winks its eye
D                 G                 D                 C                    Em
When the night is done, you’ll vanish in the sun
D                                 G                          D
Will I hold you when the night is over?

Em                                 Em
Am I lost inside my mind?
Em                 C                                 Em
There’s an emerald in the sky
D         G                 D     C             Em
I hear the river say your name
D                 G                 D                 C                 Em
By the stars above, I know we were in love
D       G    D         C                 Em
I hear the river say your name
D                                 G                 D
I have only ’til the night is over

[Outro]
