A    E7    D9  A        AM7     C#m7-5     D    F#7
Somewhere out there, beneath the pale moonlight,

Bm7 E7             A F#m     D    F#m7 Bm7  Bm7-5  E7
Someone's thinking of me and lov - ing  me   to - night.

A    E7    D9  A      AM7     C#m7-5     D    F#7
Somewhere out there, someone's saying a prayer

     Bm7    E7           A    F#m         D    F#m7 Bm7 E7    A
That we'll find one an - oth - er in that big somewhere out there.


     D             E7           D9           E7
And even though I know how very far apart we are,

    D                 E7              D9                 E7
It helps to think we might be wishing on the same bright star.

    F                    G7               F             G
And when the night wind starts to sing a lonesome lullabye,

   F                     G7           Bm7-5              E7
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the same big sky.


A    E7    D9  A        AM7     C#m7-5     D    F#7
Somewhere out there, if love can see us through,

     Bm7   E7       A    F#m            D
Then we'll be to - geth - er somewhere out there, 

     E7                A
Out where dreams come true.
