 D
So dear friends
      G    A   D
Your love has gone
D               A  E7 A
Only tears to dwell upon
   D   Dmaj7 G/B
I dare not  say
D/A     G   Dmaj7 Em7
As the wind must blow
     Dsus2    D
So a love is lost
  Asus4    A
A love is won
 D                G   A D
Go to sleep and dream again

Soon your hopes
      A   E7    A
Will rise and then
     D   Dmaj7 G/B
From all this gloom
D/A        G  Dmaj7 E7
Life can start  a  new
             A7            G G/F# G/E D
And there'll be no crying soon
