Chorus:
        Fm   D#   G#
Take me back Josephine
         C#             D#
to that cold and dark December
     Fm      D#       G#    C#         D#
I am missing someone but I don’t know who.
        Fm  D#     G#           C#         D#
Now I’m standing alone and I’m trying to remember
    Fm      D#      G#   C#    D#             G#
Sometimes I wonder how I ever started loving you

C#        G#            D#
Noontime wind can you blow
       Fm       Fm/C     C#
For me one more time and take me
    G#           D#
On back to the start
 C#                 G#             D#
Where the midnight moon shines so bright
        Fm      Fm/C    C#
Nearly pulled us up to heaven
         G#            D#
By the strings of our hearts

Chorus

Morning sun, shine on me
Come light inside my window
And rest on my brow
Kiss my eyes when I sleep
And carry me back home
If my dreams will allow

Chorus

Chorus:
Take me back, Josephine,
to that cold and dark December
I am missing someone but I don't know who
Now I'm standing alone and I'm trying to remember
Sometimes I wonder how I ever started loving you
Someone help me understand why I'm still loving you
