No milk today, my love has gone away,

The bottle stands for - lorn, a symbol of the dawn,
A minorAm C majorC
No milk today, it seems a common sight,
E MajorE A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
But people passing by, don't know the reason why!
A augmentedA G+G
How could they know ...just what this message means?

The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams,

Behind the door, where my love reigned as Queen!

No milk to - day, it wasn't always so,
(No milk to - day----------!)

We felt it both at once, the start of our ro - mance!
