GThe lights were burning low and Mister Midnight Cmade his Gway
Old D7Father Time had trudged along to close another Gday
The old clock ticked and seemed to say your heart is Csad and Gblue
But just A7remember pal D7there's others broken Gtoo
I Ctold the moon it was so hard to play love's losing hand
When you Gthought you drew a sweetheart she A7was just a fickle D7friend
Don't Gmind my tears remember there's still a million Chearts in Gbloom
So keep on A7shining though I'm D7pining silvery Gmoon
The trade winds brought a message in from far Cacross the Gsea
They D7said they saw the silver sails that carried you from Gme
They told me you were drifting on upon an Cendless Gtide
And lonely A7seagulls hovered D7o'er you as you Gcried
If CI could send a message on the crest of every wave
They'd Gtake you my forgiveness and A7two broken hearts we'd D7save
But Ginstead I'll ask each little star to guide your Cship back Ghome
So keep on A7shining though I'm D7pining silvery Gmoon

The lights were burning low and Mister Midnight made his way

D7 G

Old Father Time had trudged along to close another day

C G

The old clock ticked and seemed to say your heart is sad and blue

A7 D7 G

But just remember pal there's others broken too

I told the moon it was so hard to play love's losing hand

G A7 D7

When you thought you drew a sweetheart she was just a fickle friend

G C G

Don't mind my tears remember there's still a million hearts in bloom

A7 D7 G

So keep on shining though I'm pining silvery moon

C G

The trade winds brought a message in from far across the sea

D7 G

They said they saw the silver sails that carried you from me

C G

They told me you were drifting on upon an endless tide

A7 D7 G

And lonely seagulls hovered o'er you as you cried

If I could send a message on the crest of every wave

G A7 D7

They'd take you my forgiveness and two broken hearts we'd save

G C G

But instead I'll ask each little star to guide your ship back home

A7 D7 G

So keep on shining though I'm pining silvery moon
