Am                          Bm
When the night wind softly blows
E                Am   C F
Through my open window
     E            Am    C F
Then I start to remember
     Dm                   E
The girl that brought me joy

Now the night wind softly blows
Sadness to tomorrow
Bringing tears to eyes so tired
Eyes I thought could cry no more

Chorus:
A       E             F#m
If the day would only come
      A                D
Then you might just appear
      F#m                  Bm
Even though you'd soon be gone
     G                 D
When I reached out my hand
            A   E D
If I could see you
   E             A   E D
If only I could see you
    E              A      D  C#m F#m
To see if you are laughing or crying
          A        D A Bm E       A Am Dm E
When the night winds     softly blow

In my dark and whispering room
Memories still bring me
A numbness to my feelings
Take my hand and brush my brow

In the warm and fevered dark
Heart was madly beating
My crazy thoughts are worrying
When the night winds softly blow

Chorus - x2
