Raining On Christmas Night

[Intro]
C Am F G
 
[Verse 1]
        C                     F              C
I still hear the sleigh bells ringing in the snow
       C             F           G
From a Christmas memory of long ago
        Am              G     Em             F
In the stillness of the night you were by my side
  Dm7             F              G
I never felt much love in all my life
 
[Verse 2]
         C                   F              C
When the springtime came you had to go your way
       C                F                G
With a promise you'd be coming back someday
       Am               G         Em                F
As the days turned into years, my heart was left in tears
    Dm7                    F            G
The smile that paints your picture disappears
 
[Chorus 1]
    F       G    C        F     G        C
And how can I forgive you after all this time
   F           G           Am G   F
My heart beats slow on the melted snow
         C          F     G   C
Now it's raining on Christmas night
 
[Verse 3]
          C             F                 C
While the city sleeps I walk her streets alone
        C               F               G
Still I dream about the love that I had known
       Am                 G   Em           F
All my thoughts of you go on, never really gone
     Dm7                F              G
They linger through the night into the dawn
 
[Chorus 2]
   F       G    C       F     G        C
Oh how can I forget you after all this time
   F        G             Am G   F
My love was lost with the winter frost
         C          F     G   C     C7
Now it's raining on Christmas night
 
[Bridge]
F        G        C
  As the years go by
F        G           C                   C7
  And my heart could never really justify
F          G        Em     Am
  Watching heaven's angels cry
             Dm7           F               G
When I could be with you beneath the snowy sky
 
[Chorus 3]
   F       G    C          F        G        C
So how can I convince you     after all this time
     F     G         Am    G    F
It's you I miss on a night like this
         C             F
Now it's raining and I want to know
        C                 F
Are you missing all those nights in the snow
       C         Am7 Dm7   G     C
From a Christmas memory of long ago
