Dm                    C         F
From the back of your big brown eyes
Dm              C       F    Bb     C
I knew you'd be gone as soon as you could
F     Bb        C
And I hoped you would
Dm                    C       F
We could see that you weren't yourself
Dm                    C        F
And the lines on your face did tell
     Bb      C
It's just as well
      F     Bb     C     F     F#dim
You'd never be yourself again

             Bb
Saw you last night
             C            F     F#dim
Dance by the light of the moon
              Bb
Stars in your eyes
              C             Dm
Free from the life that you knew

Dm                    C         F      Bb       C
You're the magic that holds the sky up from the ground
Dm                     C           F          Bb    C
You're the breath that blows these cool winds 'round
Dm             C       F     Bb  C
Trading places with an angel now

F     F#dim

             Bb
Saw you last night
             C            F       F#dim
Dance by the light of the moon
              Bb
Stars in your eyes

Stars in your eyes

Smiled in my room
