In The Cold Light of Day

Details

Description

A quick song i wrote for a visit to a country music group. A bit tricky to sing well so i'm miming to my own recording

Cold Light of Day

D A G
Not so long ago that I first met you
D A G
Young lovers in the springtime of our lives
D A G
Fools said "that she soon will just forget you"
D A G
I wouldn't listen to their bitter lies

D A G
You showed me all the love that I could dream of
D A G
And roses grew around our simple home
D A G
But somehow I could never just forget, dear
D A G
The doubts that all those bitter words had sewn

Em A
As winter came a coldness fell upon me
Em A
Your eyes to other men were often drawn
Em A
I said I was a fool to ever doubt you
Em A7
Until I heard the closing of the door

CHORUS

D A
In the night she walked away
G D
There was nothing I could say
A G
Now I’m alone in the cold light of day
D A
She was gone before the dawn
G D
How can I just carry on
A G
Now I’m alone in the cold light of day
D A D
I’m alone in the cold light of day

D A G
The love we had is gone and lost forever
D A G
Now I’m with nothing in my heart to feel
D A G
Friends say that in time I’ll find another
D A G
But is there time enough for me to heal

D A G
Was I a fool to open up my heart, dear
D A G
Are lies the only memories I hold
D A G
The home we had is nothing but four walls now
D A G
The ring upon my finger burns so cold

Em A
You walked away without a single reason
Em A
Did I do wrong or hurt you in some way?
Em A
Perhaps it’s night and I am only dreaming
Em A7
But the bed is empty where you used to lay
