And I love you so, the people ask me how
| Am7 | Dm7 | F G7 | C Dm7
How I live till now, I tell them I don't know.
| C | Dm7 | G7 | C Em7
I guess they understand how lonely life has been.
| Am7 | Dm7 | F G7 | CM7 Dm7 | CM7 Dm7
But life began again, the day you took my hand.
| C Em7/B | Am7 | Dm7 | Dm7
And yes .. I know how lonely life can be.
| Dm7 | Dm7 C | C Bdim
The shadows follow me. And the night won't set my free.
| Em7 Am | Am | Dm | Dm | Dm
But I .. don't let the evening bring me down.
| Dm7 G7 | CM7 Dm7 | CM7 Dm7
Now that you're around me.
And you love me too, your thoughts are just for me
You set my spirit free, I'm happy that you do.
The book of life is brief and once a page is read.
All but love is dead, that is my belief.
