Verse
D Bm G
In a dance hall by the river, I was singing in a travelling band
D A
Just another small town night, with a silver moon shining
D Bm G
I remember when I saw you, that first moment when it all began
D A D G A
You looked across a crowded room, and stole my heart away.
D Bm G
And we stood out in the moonlight, in the shadow of a factory wall
D A
Music playing soft and low, and a gentle breeze sighing
D Bm G
And the light on the river was magic, yes a magic that I still recall
D A D G D
Moments come and moments go, but these moments still remain.
[Refrão]

Verse
D Bm G
So we married our fortunes together, and we sealed it with a golden band
D A
But somewhere down along the road, we could see the flame dying
D Bm G
Now an exiled heart gets weary, like two strangers in a foreign land
D A D G D
We reached the point of no return, a long long time ago.
[Refrão]
