INTRO: F Bb C..F Bb C

#1.
         F                    Bb     C
There is nothing quite as red as the cherries in 
    F     Am  Bb
the trees overhead.
         C                F      Am        Bb
Then you looked at me and then I knew..the lips 
     C         F   Am Bb C
were redder on you.

#2.
    F                             Bb     C
Ah, there's nothing quite as blue as the sky, on 
  F      Am   Bb    
a summer afternoon.
         C                F      Am        Bb
Then you looked at me and then I knew..the eyes 
     C        F   Bb C
were bluer on you.

CHORUS:
    Gm7           F        Gm7     C      F
The moment that I saw you, somehow I just knew.
C               F        Dm  G             C
When I held you close to me, I could never let you go..
    G     C       G        C
and now I know, I love you soooo.

#3.       
        F                Am   Bb   C           F
There's nothing quite as fine as a sweet sugar plum 

from the vine.
Bb                     F       Am        Bb
Til I kissed your lips I never knew, the kiss was 
C            F   Bb C
sweeter from you.
