[Bm] [C]
The stars grow [Ab] dim and the [C] moon sinks low
Getting kinda late and soon [F] I'll have to go
[E] [A] [D] So hold me now [E] and maybe you [Am] will hear
The secret my [G] heart [C] keeps
As [F] we stand here in the [G] shadow
While we'll [C] sleep
The day [G] is [Ab] done, the crowd have [C] left the street
My other love, he must never [F] know we [Em] meet
[A] [Dm] His heart would break [E] if he would [Am] ever see
You here [Gm] with [C] me

While [C] the city sleeps
