The Night We Called It A Day
Words & Music by Tom Adair & Matt Dennis
Recorded by The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, 1943
Vocals by The Pied Pipers with Jo Stafford
A7 Gm7 A7(V) A7 DM7 D6
There was a moon out in space,
A7/6 E7/9 A7/6 D
But a cloud drifted o - ver its face;
Em7 Gm7 Gdim D Bm7
You kissed me and went on your way
A7 Gdim D
The night we called it a day.
A7 Gm7 A7(V) A7 DM7 D6
I heard the song of the spheres
A7/6 E7/9 A7/6 D
Like a mi - nor la - ment in my ears;
Em7 Gm7 Gdim D Bm7
I hadn't the heart left to pray
A7 Gdim D
The night we called it a day.
Bridge:
G A7 D Gm7 Gdim A7 D
Soft through the dark, the hoot of an owl in the sky;
Gdim F#7 Bm Bm7 E Gm7 A7
Sad though his song, no bluer was he than I.
A7 Gm7 A7(V) A7 DM7 D6
The moon went down, stars were gone,
A7/6 E7/9 A7/6 D
But the sun did - n't rise with the dawn;
Em7 Gm7 Gdim
There wasn't a thing left to say
A7-9 A A7 Gm7 A7 D6
The night we called it a day.
