Vanilla Twilight

The stars lean (Fsus)down to kiss you,

(Gm)and I lie (Eb)awake, and miss you.

(Bb)Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere,

(Bb)'cause I'll doze off (Fsus)safe and soundly,

(Gm)but I'll miss your arms around me.

(Bb)I'll send a postcard to you,

dear, 'cause I wish (Eb)you were here.

(Bb)I'll watch the night turn light blue,

but it's not the same without you,

because it takes (Bbmaj7)two to whisper quietly.

(Bb)The silence (Bbmaj7)isn't so bad (Bb6)'til I look at my (Eb)hands and feel sad,

(Bb)'cause the spaces (Bbmaj7)between my fingers are (Cm)right where yours fit (Eb)perfectly.

(Bb)I'll find repose in new ways,

(Gm)though I haven't (Eb)slept in two days,

(Bb)'cause cold (F)nostalgia chills me (Cm7)to the bone.

(Bb)But drenched in (F)vanilla twilight, (Gm)I'll sit on the (Eb)front porch all night (Bb)waist deep in (F)thought because when I (Cm7)think of you,

I (Eb)don't feel so alone.

(Fsus)I don't feel so alone.

(Eb)I (F)don't feel so alone.

(F)As (Gm7)many times as I'll blink,

(Bb)I'll think of you

tonight.

(F)I'll think of you tonight.

(C)When violet (G)eyes get brighter (Am7)and heavy wings grow lighter,

(C)I'll taste the (G)sky and feel alive (F)again.

(C)And I'll forget the (G)world that I knew,

(Am7)but I swear I won't forget you.

(C)Oh, if my (G)voice could reach back (Dm11)through the past,

I'd (F)whisper in your ear.

Oh, darling, I wish you were here.
