Verse 1 Am It was late in a Lebanese restaurant, in the heat of a Lebanese night, There was dancing, people were singing, she came in from the garden outside, G Am And in her eyes I saw the stars, F Am And I felt something happen in my heart; Verse 2 Am Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanese night, And the girl inside the woman, who came over to sit by my side, G Am And when she smiled, the whole world stopped, F G It was then I heard the echoes of a child; Chorus G C G Dm And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby, C Am G And the sound of the guns in the night, G C G Dm And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life, C Am G From the hell that came down from the sky? Am On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night; Verse 3 Am We went down to the edge of the water, by the light of a Lebanese dawn, And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war, G Am Her tears fell down, the sun came up, F G And I saw again the young girl in her eyes; Chorus G C G Dm And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby, C Am G And the sound of the guns in the night, G C G Dm And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life, C Am G From the hell that came down from the sky? Am On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night; Bridge Am G All of my life, all I have known, Dm Am only a place where peace cannot go; Am G All over the world, the gift from before, Dm Am nothing is left for the children of war; Chorus
