VerseCAmC
Yesterday I thought that I walked alone
AmG
And that love was just a memory
CAmC
But a nightingale followed me back home
FGC
And my love was waiting there for me
CAmC
I had lost my faith as lovers often do
AmG
When the storm clouds gather over head
CAmC
But the nightingale sang a note so true
FGC
That I knew I'd lost my fear instead
CAmC
And to think that I said love was for fools
CAmFG
And that time would never heal these old wounds
CAmC
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
FGC
In the twilight he played a faithful tune
CAmC
I have heard the lark over in the vale
AmG
And I've heard the lonesome whippo-will
CAmC
But the sweetest song is the nightin-gale's
FGC
And I know I'll never get my fill
CAmC
And to think that I said love was for fools
CAmFG
And that time would never heal these old wounds
CAmC
But the nightingale saved a prayer for me
FGC
In the twilight he played a faithful tune
