1. If you close the door, the night could last forever,

                     G             E         Am               D

    leave the sunshine out and say hello to never.

                  G                                              G7

    All the people are dancing and they're having such fun,

        C                                Cm

    I wish it could happen to me - - -

     - - - - - - -   G             E         Am                   D                  G

    but if you close the door, I'd never have to see the day again.

2. If you close the door, the night could last forever

                      G              E           Am                   D

    leave the wine glass out and drink a toast to never.

            G                                              G7

    Oh, someday I know someone will look into my eyes,

                       C        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -  Cm

    and say hello - - - you're my very special one.

     - - - - - - -   G             E           Am                  D                   G       - F#

     But if you close the door, I'd never have to see the day again.

 

      Bm                               F#        

    Dark party bars, shiny Cadillac cars

                  Bm            F#                Bm          

    and the people on subways and trains

                   E             E7                 E              E7

    looking grey in the rain as they stand disarrayed

                  Am                               D

    oh, but people look well in the dark. - - -

 

                G                     E          Am                        D

3. And If you close the door, the night could last forever,

                     G             E         Am               D

    leave the sunshine out and say hello to never.

                  G                                              G7

    All the people are dancing and they're having such fun,

        C                                Cm

    I wish it could happen to me - - -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

      - - - - - - - - -  G             E          Am                   D                   G      - E

    ‘cause if you close the door, I'd never have to see the day again.

          Am                  D                   G                E

    I’d never have to see the day again (once more),

          Am                  D                    G

     I'd never have to see this day again.
