F C
Let me tell you about this torch I carry -
Am7 Bb
- It’s not much of a career,
Gm Bb7+
And it won’t make my fortune,
Gm Bb
I fear.
F C
But it stays alight and won’t be buried;
Am7 Bb
It’s brighter year by year,
Gm Bb7+
And someday it will surely
Gm Bb
Disappear.
F
When it does I’ll know I’ve laid to rest
C
The ghost of your unhappiness
F
That creeps around from room to room,
Am7 Bb Gm
A widow on a honeymoon,
Bb7+ F C F
A shadow on a harvest moon.
F C
So put away this torch you carry,
Am7 Bb
For it’s doing you no good,
Gm Bb7+
And surely you know by now,
Gm Bb
That you should;
F C
And come the day you die or marry,
Am7 Bb
Will you be understood
Gm Bb7+
When you say that you wanted
Gm Bb
But never could
F
Turn your back and lay to rest
C
The ghost of your unhappiness
F
That flits around from room to room,
Am7 Bb Gm
A widow on a honeymoon,
Bb7+ F C F
A shadow on a harvest moon.

I write these words to make them true,

“I’ve drowned my torch and so should
F C
you”.

F Dm7
you”.

you”.
