..............Bm9/E.................E7......................Bm9/E...........E7
There's sadness in the night the city's sleeping
..............Bm9/E...................E7.....Bm9/E........................E7
As you lie there in your bed, a tune stays in your head

The melody comes near, and whispers in your ear
.......................Bm9/E.......................E7.........................Bm9/E...........E7
Through the misty night some distant train goes ringing

Guardian angels watch over you at night

That's really me and my song and my song
........Bm9/E................E7.......Bm9/E...................E7
The telephone wires hiss, to bring someone a kiss
.........Bm9/E.........E7..................Bm9/E...........E7
This melancholy tune is softly fading

Sweet dreams keep coming on deep into the dawn, oh baby
