     G+G
There?s laughter in the darkness
 C majorC              G+G
Music floating in across the bay
      G+G
He?s half listening and wondering
 E minorEm               D MajorD
How he could have let her slip away
  C majorC
So long ago but still he wants to know
        G+G    C/GC/G
If anyone has seen her
     G+G
And he?s sitting out in the night
     C majorC       D MajorD       G+G  D MajorD
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina


      G+G             C majorC
They were young and love was shining
             G+G
Like the colours of the rainbow
  G+G
Desire felt like choking
      E minorEm         D/AD/A
Love was smoking under the volcano
     C majorC
He can still taste her kisses
                G+G  C/GC/G
Sweet as the red wine from Messina
     G+G
Now he?s sitting out in the night
     C majorC       D MajorD       G+G
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina

C majorC

Seems like another lifetime
                  G+G
When they rambled along the shore

Seems like another lifetime
                   C majorC
She used to call him her sweet senor

Maybe in another lifetime
             G+G
On a pathway to the sea
            D MajorD
Maybe there they?ll be


      G+G
The crowd calls for the emperor
    C majorC             G+G
Raise their hands to hail another king
     G+G
But he?s been so long a wanderer
 E minorEm               D MajorD
Another crowd can never mean a thing
  C majorC
He came, he saw, he conquered
                  G+G  C/GC/G
Ten thousand voices roared in the arena
     G+G
Now he?s sitting out in the night
     C majorC       D MajorD       G+G
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina

        G+G
He hears the chimes of history
 C majorC               G+G
Myths of gods and men forever ringing
     G+G
Ancient dreams in all their mystery
 E minorEm             D MajorD
Wars for Sicily and Spartan women
    C majorC
In the mists of antiquity
                 G+G  C majorC
Ships of war set sail from Carthagina
     G+G
Now he?s sitting out in the night
     C majorC       D MajorD       G+G  C majorC
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
 G+G
Sitting out in the night
     C majorC       D MajorD       G+G
Looking down upon the lights of Taormina
