  Am         C                F       E7             Am      C     F

  When the night winds softly blow    through my open window

  

  E7                Am         C     F     F     E7      E7

  then I start to remember     the girl that brought me joy

  

  Am         C               F       E7         Am      C     F

  Now the night winds softly blow    sadness to tomorrow

  

                    E7       Am   C

  bringing tears to eyes so tired

  

  F       F       E7     E7

  Eyes I thought could cry no more

  

  

  Chorus:

  

  A      Cm#            Bm7       Bm7              D

  If the day would only come then you might just appear

  

         Cm#                 Bm       Bm               A

  even though you'd soon be gone when I reached out my hand

  

  A          A       E     Bm7       Bm7

  If I could see you (ooohh ooooh)

  

     Bm7          A        E    Bm7

  If only I could see you ooooh ooooh

  

  Bm7               A      D    Cm# Bm

  To see if you are laughing    or  crying

  

  A        D     Bm    Bm     A

  When the night winds softly blow

  

  In my dark and whispering room

  Memories still bring me a numbness to my feelings

  Take my hand and brush my brow

  In the warm and fevered dark

  Heart is madly beating

  My crazy thoughts are burning

  When the night winds softly blow

  

  If the day would only come

  Then you might just appear even though you'd soon be gone

  When I reached out my hand

  If I could see you

  If only I could see you

  To see if you are laughing or crying

  When the night winds softly blow
