G C G D7 London by night is a wonderful sight G Bm Dm There is magic abroad in the air C D G Em I'm often told that the streets turn to gold C D G When the moon shines on Circus and Square G C G G Deep in the dark that envelops the park G Bm Dm Em There's romance in each cigarette glow C D G Em Down by the Thames, lights that sparkle like gems C D G Seem to wink at each girl and her beau G C G D7 Up comes the moon when the city's asleep G Bm Dm He's not alone, for it seems C D G Em Somewhere up there stands an angel to keep her C D G Watch while each Londoner dreams G C G D7 My love and I saw the sun leave the sky G Bm Dm Em Then we kissed in the fast-fading light C D G Em Most people say they love London by day Am D Em But lovers love London by night C D G Em Most people say they love London by day G D G But lovers love London by night
