Oh, my love, was it all in vain?

In a quiet moment at the theater, I could hear the train
BF#G#m
Deep inside the city, your memory remains.
Chorus:

Mary Boone, Mary Boone
BF#G#m
Iʼm on the dark side of your room...
C#F#
Mary Boone, Mary Boone
BF#G#mC#
Well, I hope you feel like loving someone soon...

Book of hours, Russian icons

Use this voice and let it sing
