F#m        A  C#m F#m
My one and only love
           A      B     D   F#m
I've been lonely long enough
        E                 A      E
Will I find you when the night is over?
F#m       A    C#m     F#m
Tell me where did you go?
           A         B        D F#m
I've been searching high and low
       E              A       E
I have only 'til the night is over

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

F#m         A       C#m   F#m
I feel the weather change
            A     B        D F#m E
I hear the river say your name
F#m          A        C#m F#m
I watch the birds fly by
         A       B        D F#m E
I see an emerald in the sky

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

F#m
Am I lost inside my mind?
                            D F#m
There's an emerald in the sky

I hear the river say your name
By the stars above, I know we were in love
I hear the river say your name
I have only ’til the night is over
