searchlights , rain on the road ,

waiting for the airport limousine ,
C G
your time in this foreign land ,
Am B
is nearly over , i’ll never forget how

last night , after he called ,
you held me like you’d never let me go ,
but your eyes are happy now ,
and you are beautiful , you’re ready to leave me ,

C D B Em
homeward , back to your world ,
C D Em
back to the one who is there ,
C D B Em
go now , but go in love ,
C
for it’s the only way;

D G – D C – Em
and you’ll be crying , laughing ,
C D G
half a world away ,
C D G – D C – Em
you’ll be crying , laughing ,
C D
for the love we have ,
Em
when you go away . . .

long ride , holding her hand ,
looking all the words we cannot speak ,
one mile to the boulevard ,
and the aeroplane that’s waiting to take you

homeward , back to your land ,
back to the one who is there ,
go now , but go in love ,
for it’s the only way ,

and you’ll be crying , laughing ,
half a world away ,
you’ll be crying , laughing ,
for the love we have ,
but you must go ,
crying , laughing ,
half a world away ,
you’ll be crying , laughing ,
don’t forget me love ,
when you go away . . .
