MOON OVER THE WATER (Elly Beurskens)

 

 

C                     Dm      G                 C

While driving home, late in the evening

                       Dm        F                 G

Passing the road that runs by the lake

C                Dm    G                Am

I saw the moon smile on the water

                                    Dm          G                 C

And the thought of you, brother, made my heart break

 

 

I’d been so low, so tired and troubled

After I’d heard you soon may be gone

I’d searched in vain, for the cloud’s silver lining

It takes a full night for the new day to dawn

 

 

Chorus:

C7                             F     G             C

But there’s still the moon over the water

                            Dm          F                 G7

There’s still the stars that shine in our eyes

C7               F       Fm        C          Am

There is a home over the rainbow

                    Dm               G               C

Where the darkness will fade in the light

 

 

Maybe someday I’ll write you a letter

Saying the things you already know

Words can be chains that bind us together

But what you need most is for me to let go

 

Chorus

 

When driving home, late in the evening

Passing the road that runs by the lake            

I’ll watch the moon smile on the water

And the thought of you, brother, will make me smile back
