 To me you are the loveliest thing I've seen all day

 You can't take that away, no, you can't take that away
 G              Bm7            Em7               C  G/B
 All my life, I wondered why it couldn't be this way
          Am7 D7    G    Bm7   Am7    D7       G
 That was up until today, oh, it had to be this way

      G  Bb  Eb             Cm      F      F7
 Today,      wait until the morning comes

 You seem to have a friendlier smile than all the rest
        Am7        D7         G  Bm7        Am7       D7       G
 Well I looked and you were best, yeah, I've looked at all the rest
 G             Bm7         Em7               C  G/B
 Can't imagine passionate words that I would say
  Am7   D7        G     Bm7     Am7      D7     G
 If only you would stay, oh, you know you gotta stay

 You used to be an early bird
              Gm      G#maj7
 But how was I to know
                     Gm           A#maj7      F6
 you would leave without shedding a tear
        D#maj7           F6
 I only want to love you
                 Gm           G#maj7     Am7                D7
 I'll make a wish and suddenly I'm glad that I have you here
           Am7              D7
 Oh, I'm glad I have you here
