[Verse 1] | Bbmaj7 | Gm7 | Cm7 | F7 | The skyline shimmers in silver and hue, | Bbmaj7 | Gm7 | Cm7 F7 | Bbmaj7 | While I'm out here thinking of you. | Eb9 | D7 | Gm7 | C7 | A saxophone sighs from a window above, | F7 | Bbmaj7 | F7 | Bbmaj7 | Serenading the ghost of our love. [Chorus] | Bbmaj7 | Bbmaj7/A | Gm7 | Gm7/F | Starlight in blue, like your eyes used to be, | Eb9 | Edim7 | D7 | Gm7 C7 | Flickering soft over memory’s sea. | F7 | F7/Eb | Dm7 | G7 | I reach for the night, but it slips through again, | Cm7 | F7 | Bbmaj7 | – | Just like the touch of your hand in the rain. [Verse 2] | Bbmaj7 | Gm7 | Cm7 | F7 | Sidewalks remember the sound of your heels, | Bbmaj7 | Gm7 | Cm7 F7 | Bbmaj7 | Echoes of laughter the evening reveals. | Eb9 | D7 | Gm7 | C7 | The moon takes a bow behind satin cloud lines, | F7 | Bbmaj7 | F7 | Bbmaj7 | While I hum the tune of our better times. [Instrumental Bridge – Muted Trumpet Solo] | Gm7 | C7 | F7 | Bbmaj7 | | Eb9 | Edim7 | D7 | Gm7 C7 | [Final Chorus] | Bbmaj7 | Bbmaj7/A | Gm7 | Gm7/F | Starlight in blue, still I whisper your name, | Eb9 | Edim7 | D7 | Gm7 C7 | Hoping the stars might be feeling the same. | F7 | F7/Eb | Dm7 | G7 | Alone with the sky and a drink or two, | Cm7 | F7 | Bbmaj7 | – | I toast to the love that I once knew— | Bbmaj7 | – | Bbmaj7 | – | Starlight in blue.
