                      F
    Sweetheart we're alone
                E
    And you are mine
                    F                  E
    Let's make this night a night to remember
                   F                 E
    Don't make our love a cold dying ember
                 F               E
    For with the dawn, you'll be gone
            F                                        E
    Hold me close in your arms as the night withers away
              F                                     E
    Let's not waste one precious kiss while we're together
              F                                         E
    Oh please come to my arms and say you'll love me forever
                 F               E      (Tacet)
    For with the dawn, you'll be gone

                           F
    Sweetheart when you're near
                 E
    My heart is aflame
                         F                E
    Your lips pressed on mine is heaven descending
                F                 E
    And I could die because it is ending
                 F               E
    For with the dawn, you'll be gone
              F                                    E
    Let these passions we feel in our hearts never end
            F                              E
    I could never share this feeling with another
              F                                     E
    Oh please say that you feel the same knowing no other ??
                 F               E
    For with the dawn, you'll be gone
                 F               E
    For with the dawn, you'll be gone
                 F                          E
    For with the dawn, .........  you'll be gone
                 F               E      F      G     E
    For with the dawn, you'll be gone
