/ Tonight Your With Another- Johnny McEvoy Song Lyrics. Chords by Bob Sharpe. Also included are 2 more songs from Johnny, You Never Learn't To Dance and Dreams that come easy with chords by Bob.


Haven't [C] seen you in a long [C7] while,
[F] I must admit I miss your smile
And the [C] time goes so slowly.
When all I do is count the [G] miles.
And miles of [C] long and lonely [C7] highway's
That's [F] keeping me from going my way
The [C] memory of your sweet sweet love.
Still [G] lingers in my [C] heart.

CHORUS
For [F] tonight your with another. 
And you're [C] secret you can tell.
The [F] one you long to be with.
Lies here [C] in this cold and [G] lonely cell.
And now [C] prison wall's surround me.
[F] Prison chains have bound me.
And the [C] dream's I have of loving you.
Lie [G] broken on the [C]floor.
 
I can hear the Church Bell's ringing
As down the isle he's bringing you
A bunch of wine red rose'
And a golden Wedding ring.
That he'll place upon your finger.
And promise you he'll never love.
somebody else as much.
Or half as long as he'll love you.
CHORUS,
​DREAMS THAT COME EASY.

I’ll  [G] never  [D] forget the good times  [G] together 
When we strolled through the green fields   
In the  [D] finest of  [G] weather
My hand in  [D] yours as we talked and we  [G] planned
For a beautiful life in a  [D] beautiful  [G] land.

I was a  [D] young man with dreams in my  [G] head
Of places to see and  [D] things to be  [G] said
You were a  [D] young girl barely  [G] sixteen
You dreamed of a mansion and the  [D] life of a  [G] Queen.

CHORUS.
[D]  Dreams that come easily now  [C] easily  [G] fade
[D]  Plans for the future are  [C] easily  [G] made
But sure as the  [C] flowers bloom  [G] sweetly in  [F] May
[G]  Dreams like the flowers they’ll  [D] wither  [G] away.

Time passes  [D] quickly as good times they  [G] do 
I found a new love I  [D] forgot about  [G] you.
I settled  [D] down with a wife and a  [G] home
And I promised myself never  [D] more would I  [G] roam.

Then one morning I  [D] heard of your passing  [G] away
My mind wandered back to those  [D] far away  [G] days
And I thought to my -[D]- self as the memories did  [G] flow
Did you think of me in those  [D] days long  [G] ago.

Lyrics Without The Chords
Haven't seen you in a long while,
 I must admit I miss your smile
And the time goes so slowly.
When all I do is count the miles.
And miles of long and lonely highway's
That's keeping me from going my way
The memory of your sweet sweet love.
Still linger's in my heart.

CHORUS
For tonight your with another. 
And you're secret you can tell.
The one you long to be with.
Lies here in this cold and lonely cell.
And now prison wall's surround me.
Prison chains have bound me.
And the dream's I have of loving you.
Lie broken on the floor.
 
I can hear the Church Bell's ringing
As down the isle he's bringing you
A bunch of wine red rose'
And a golden Wedding ring.
That he'll place upon your finger.
And promise you he'll never love.
somebody else as much.
Or half as long as he'll love you.
CHORUS,
YOU NEVER LEARN TO DANCE 
.
Chorus
And  [G] you  never  learned  to  dance
And  you  never  learned   to sing
Never  word  a  wedding  [D] gown [D7] 
Or  a  golden  wedding  [G] ring
And  you’ve  never  been  to  France 
Or  in  an  Aeroplane
In  spite  of  a  all  these  [D] things
[D7] You  were  happy  just  the  [G] same
Verse
The  first  time  that  I  [D] saw  you [D7] 
I  never  will  [G] forget
Standing  on  the  city  [D] sidewalk [D7] 
In  the  rain  and  soaking  [G] wet.
In  your  hand  there  was  a  [C] flower
And  it  smelled  like  Mountain  [G] Thyme
And  the  Gin  that  you  were  [D] drinking [D7] 
Was  as  sweet  as  sparkling  [G] wine.

Chorus verse
And  you  know  I  always  [D] wonder [D7] 
When  I  see  you  passing  [G] by
Just  a  little  old  bag  [D]  lady [D7] 
With  a  twinkle  in  your  [G] eye
Sometimes  you  must  get  [C] lonesome
With  no  one  to  call  your  [G] own
And  a  run  down  railway  [D] station [D7] 
Was  the  place  you  called  your  [G] home

Chorus verse
Well  one  day  when  I  was  [D] walking [D7]
I  saw  you  weren’t  [G] there
The  streets  they  were  so  [D] lonely [D7]
They  seemed  so  cold  and  [G] bare
And  I  wonder  where  you’d  [C] gone  to 
Did  you  make  yourself  a  [G] friend
Did  you  climb  the  golden  [D] stairway [D7] 
Did  you  reach  the  rainbows  [G] end.
Chorus.
