Verse 1 
Am It was late in a Lebanese restaurant, in the heat of a Lebanese night,
There was dancing, people were singing, she came in from the garden outside, 
GAm And in her eyes I saw the stars,
FAm And I felt something happen in my heart;
 Verse 2 
Am Then I knew I was going to meet her in the heat of a Lebanese night,
And the girl inside the woman, who came over to sit by my side, 
GAm And when she smiled, the whole world stopped,
FG It was then I heard the echoes of a child;
GCGDm And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
CAmG And the sound of the guns in the night,
GCGDm And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
CAmG From the hell that came down from the sky?
Am On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;
 Verse 3 
Am We went down to the edge of the water, by the light of a Lebanese dawn,
And she told me all the stories of her beautiful land in the war, 
GAm Her tears fell down, the sun came up,
FG And I saw again the young girl in her eyes;
GCGDm And did you go to your bed with a sweet lullaby,
CAmG And the sound of the guns in the night,
GCGDm And did you dance in the fields, did you run for your life,
CAmG From the hell that came down from the sky?
Am On a Lebanese night, on a Lebanese night;
 Bridge 
AmG All of my life, all I have known,
DmAm only a place where peace cannot go;
AmG All over the world, the gift from before,
DmAm nothing is left for the children of war;
