The Morning After Love

1. This morning, as I listened to the rain, I thought of you (C-Bb-C)
Wished that you were by my side again, memories flew (C-Dm-Am)
But cigarettes and coffee cups don’t make that dream come true (F-Em-Am-F)
And it’s the morning after love, and the night before loneliness (Em-F-Em-F)

And somewhere in between, I’ll find out what you mean (Em-F-E-F-Em)

Before we’re through (F-C)

2. Many months have passed between our smiles, I had to go
To face along the emptiness of miles, what did we know?
But we swore that we could never change, but forgot that we might grow
And it’s the morning after love, and the night before loneliness

That lets us know the score, enough to say no more

Except hello

And too many times, we had to wear the mask (Em-Bm)

And too many times I had to stop and ask you (Am-D)

Why you never cried (C-Bm-Am-G-F-C-G7)

3. I can’t insist that we should meet again, that’s up to time

But maybe even distance was a friend we thought unkind

But dulcimer dreams and yellow roses still are on my mind

And it’s the morning after love and the night before loneliness

They’re only fading signs, slipping far behind

A bitter line

And it’s the morning after love and the night before loneliness

That makes us stop and see just who we want to be

Then sets us free

And it’s the morning after love and the night before loneliness

The morning after love and the night before loneliness
