G5 *                  C5 
Oh, when the rain falls on Washington Avenue 
     G5             D5              G5 
We close our eyes and hold our breath. 
                   *                C5 
That's when I met you so many years ago. 
   G5               D5            G5 
I fell in love, I ain't forgot yet. 
 

 C5                   D5 
You make the time go by  
 G5           D5   E5 
Just like it never happened 
    C5                D5               G5 
And I can feel your love down in my soul. 
             * 
So take my heart, 
                         C5 
And take my life if you want to... 
        G5                   D5            G5 
Cause without you, I don't need them at all. 
 

          G5 * 
So, goodnight. 
                           C5 
Dream of me while you're sleepin', 
          G5                   D5               G5 
Yes, and kiss me when you're leavin with the dawn. 
 
 
 C5                   D5 
You make the time go by  
 G5           D5   E5 
Just like it never happened 
    C5                D5               G5 
And I can feel your love down in my soul. 
             * 
So take my heart, 
                         C5 
And take my life if you want to... 
        G5                   D5            G5 
Cause without you, I don't need them at all. 
 

             G5 * 
Yes, we'll dance... 
                           C5 
Dance our way through our lives 
       G5              D5 
And remember all the rain on 
              G5 
Washington Avenue.
