“When night comes”

Words and music by Donny Douglas

Intro, starts slow

A                     F                                     C                             G

When night comes, falling like a star, dying in space

A                     F                                        C                                          G

When night comes looking like the ice melting from your face

A                     F                              C                   G

When night comes being all alone feels so strange

A                     F                                     C                                      G

When night comes I can’t understand what made you change

 

Verse

C                                                                             E

I got to hand it to you, you got me scared, got me thinking that our love is dead

F                                                          Bb                                                             F

Well I got news for you baby and it ain’t good for you baby, I’m telling you straight

C

It’s been a long road that we’ve travelled, every step unknown,

E

We trod the line between right and wrong,

F                                                                        Bb

But it ain’t dead when you falter, and love goes on it won’t alter

F                                             G

The way I feel just being with you

F                                                             D

So don’t cry cos you think that love can’t live

F                                             C             G             A

Just think about this evening and all that I can give

Chorus

C                      G         C                       G

When night comes, when night comes

D             A                             B7                           E

I’ll be kissing you baby, when night comes,

C                       G         C                       G

When night comes, when night comes

D             A                             B7                           E

I’ll be kissing you baby, when night comes,

B7                           E

When night comes

2nd verse

So think about it baby, we’ve come too far, we can’t just give in now

Remember the joy and the laughter, and think about the times we spent after, just lying alone

In each other’s arms we shelter, from the world outside, from ever-present, watching eyes

But we are stronger together, and safe from harm here forever

You just have to believe, in us

So don’t cry cos you think our love won’t live

Just think about this evening and all that I can give

Chorus
