(Intro)

Em        G+/D#   G/D          C#m7-5
Starlight falling through your hair
Cmaj7                     Am7
Sometimes I wonder if you know I'm there
 Em          G+/D#     G/D           C#m7-5
Awake in the morning a smile on your face
    Cmaj7                   Am7
The same old feeling that I just can't place

            G     Am7  Bm7
And you say don't cry, baby
    Am7                             D
You know I'll always be the one who cares
G     Am7  Bm7
Don't cry, baby
     Am7                          D
Come closer let me wipe away your tears

  Em       G+/D#     G/D   C#m7-5
A man came in with a vio - lin
   Cmaj7                   Am7
He played for me like I've never been
Em        G+/D#       G/D    C#m7-5
Courted before and forever - more
       Cmaj7
As the bow touched the strings
            Am7
He made the whole world sing

G     Am7  Bm7
Don't cry, baby (Baby, don't you cry)
    Am7                                 D
You know there'll always be someone who cares
G     Am7  Bm7
Don't cry, baby (Baby, don't you cry)
     Am7                          D
Come closer let me wipe away your tears

C                  D
  I know I've been wrong
Gmaj7                  C
      You've had to be strong
Am7             D       E    F#m7  G#m7
    I guess I belong to you, my    baby (Baby, don't you cry)
    F#m7                            B
You know I'll always be the one who cares
E     F#m7  G#m7
Don't cry   baby (Baby, don't you cry)
     F#m7                         B
Come closer let me wipe away your tears

    Em            G+/D#         G/D          C#m7-5
The sound of your voice singing songs in the night
     Cmaj7                 Am7
Have taken me far away and mystified
    Em           G+/D#          G/D         C#m7-5
The songs of the lovers brought tears to my eyes
    Cmaj7                           Am7
The words that you'd spoken made me realize

Em  G+/D#  G/D  C#m7-5  Cmaj7  Am7
(repeat and fade)
