 Am   F       G Em
Come here my lover
Am          F        G  Em
Something's on your mind
Am      F    G Em
Listen to no other
Am          F    G  Em
They could be unkind

Chorus:
Dm              Em
Hold on to the concept
    Dm      Em
Of love, always darling
Dm              Em
Hold on to the concept
    Dm      Em
Of love, always

Take life between us
Live it like we choose
They'll never see us
I will hear you call

Chorus

Night all night, all night
Night all night, all night
Night all night, all night
Night all night, all night.
