Raining On Christmas Night

C Am F G 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 music and lyrics by: Francis Micael Ayllon
