              G              D7            G 
The moon was a thin slice of silver 
            G7            Am 
Sailing the dark southern skies 
                                D7 
An old flame still burned in my memory 
                   G 
Long after we said goodbye 
 
 
                  D7            G 
They say love can rise from the ashes 
                    G7         Am 
If the moon and the moment are right 
                             D7  G 
But I never dreamed it could happen 
       C        D7    G 
Till I ran into you tonight 
 
 
G7            C       D7               G       G7 
A new moon is shining  an old flame is burning 
           C         D7               G   G7 
Nights for believing a dream can come t-rue 
         C         D7            G     G7 
Whirling around us  weaving it's magic 
  C            D7             G 
A new moon  an old flame  and you 
 
 
                  D7           G 
We laughed and we talked about old times 
               G7          Am 
What we'd been doing since then 
                              D7 
As time passed you moved ever closer 
                          G 
And I felt those feelings again 
 
 
                 D7           G 
I wondered where all this was leading 
                   G7            Am 
Till the moment we touched and I knew 
                              D7  G 
Love was still there and just waiting 
      C           D7            G 
For a new moon an old flame and you 
 
 
G7            C       D7               G       G7 
A new moon is shining  an old flame is burning 
           C         D7               G   G7 
Nights for believing a dream can come t-rue 
         C         D7            G     G7 
Whirling around us  weaving it's magic 
  C            D7             G 
A new moon  an old flame  and you 
 
 
  C            D7             G 
A new moon  an old flame  and you
