[Verse 1]
Ebm Abm Db Ebm
Once there was a night beneath a moonless sky
Bb7 Ebm Bb7 Ebm
Too dark to see a thing, too dark to even try
Ebm Abm Db Ebm
I strode to your side to tell you I must go
Bb7 Ebm Bb7 Ebm
I couldn't see your face but sensed you even so
[Chorus]
Ebm
And I touched you (Christine)
Ebm
And I felt you (Phantom)
Ebm Abm
And I heard those ravishing refrains
Db Ebm
The music of the past
Bb7 Ebm
The singing in your veins
Ebm
And I held you (Christine)
And I touched you (Phantom)
Ebm
And embraced you (Christine)
And I felt you (Phantom)
Ebm Abm
And with every breath and every sigh
Db Ebm
I felt no longer scared
Bb7 Ebm
I felt no longer shy
Bb7 Ebm
At last our feelings bared
Bb7 Ebm
Beneath a moonless sky
[Verse 2]
Ebm Abm Db Ebm
And blind in the dark, as soul gazed into soul
Bb7 Ebm Bb7 Ebm
I looked into your heart and saw you pure and whole
Ebm Abm Db Ebm
Cloaked under the night with nothing to suppress
Bb7 Ebm Bb7 Ebm
A woman and a man, no more and yet no less
[Chorus 2]
Ebm
And I kissed you (Christine)
Ebm
And caressed you (Phantom)
Ebm Abm
And the world around just fell away
Db Ebm
We said things in the dark
Bb7 Ebm
We never dared to say
Ebm
And I caught you (Phantom)
And I kissed you (Christine)
Ebm
And I took you (Phantom)
And caressed you (Christine)
Ebm Abm
With a need too blatant to deny
Db Ebm
And nothing mattered then
Bb7 Ebm
Except for you and I
Bb7 Ebm
Again and then again
Bb7 Ebm
Beneath a moonless sky
[Verse 3]
Em Am D Em
And when it was done before the sun could rise
B7 Em B7 Em
Ashamed of what I was, afraid to see your eyes
Em Am D Em
I stood while you slept and whispered a goodbye
B7 Em B7 Em
And slipped into the dark beneath a moonless sky
[Chorus 3]
Em
And I loved you
Em
Yes, I loved you
Em Am
I'd have followed anywhere you lead
D Em
I woke to swear my love
B7 Em
And found you gone instead
Em
And I loved you
(How I loved you)
Em
And I left you
(How I loved you)
Em Am
And I had to, both of us knew why
We both knew why
D Em
And yet I won't regret
B7 Em
From now until I die
B7 Em
The night I can't forget
B7 Em
Beneath a moonless sky
