Little White Lies

Words & Music by Walter Donaldson
Recorded by Dick Haymes, 1948


G7   C       Am7     Dm7    G7
The moon was all a - glow, 

     Dm7   Am7 G/B Am7  Fm7   Dm7-5
And Heaven was  in your eyes

 C   G        Cdim Dm7  G7  Dm7
The night that you told me

      G7           C     G7
Those little white lies.


     C         Am7     Dm7   G7
The stars all seem to know

         Dm7    Am7  G/B Am7    Fm7  Dm7-5
That you didn't mean all those sighs

C    G        Cdim  Dm7 G7  Dm7
The night that you told me

       G7           C     Dm7    C
Those little while lies.


Bridge:

   E   C#m7-5             F#m      B7
I try,        but there's no for - get - ting

     E  C#m7-5   F#m    B7   
When ev'-ning appears;

Am7  G   Em              Am     D7
I  sigh,     but there's no re-gret-ting,

    Bm7  Bm7-5  Am7 - G#7 - G7
In spite  of my tears.


     C        Am7      Dm7   G7
The devil was in your heart,

    Dm7    Am7 G/B Am7  Fm7  Dm7-5
But Heaven was  in your eyes

 C    G       Cdim Dm7  G7 Dm7
The night that you told me

       G7           C
Those little white lies.
