I saw her walk across the courtyard
C G/B A D
She wore a light blue dress that made her sparkle like the sea

And as I looked up from a distance
C G/B A D
I wondered if she'd ever want a lonely guy like me
C G/B A
Cause a girl like her is just one of a kind
C Dsus G
I think I'll call her Belle in my mind
G G/F# Em G/D
I passed her walking down the sidewalk
C G/B A D
I looked her way, she smiled and made my poor heart twist and turn

And I'd like to pursue, just a little rendez-vous
C D G G/F# Em G/D
I'm sure feeling fine, cause the stars will align
C Dsus G
I hope that one day I can call her mine
G G/F# Em G/D
I caught her waiting at a classroom
C G/B A D
She looked so pretty standing there with ribbons in her hair
G G/F# Em G/D
And soon I noticed from a distance
C G/B A D
Her angel eyes just like the skies, I couldn't help but stare
C G/B A
Cause a girl like her will disappear with time
C Dsus G
If only I could read what's on her mind

C G/B A D
Her lipstick stains and Berkeley brain will slowly fade away
G G/F# Em G/D
And as she moves off in the distance
C G/B A D
I'll let her go and slowly have to move on day by day
C G/B A
Oh but girls like Belle are just one of a kind
C Dsus G
I hope that one day we can reunite
G C Am7 D
Cause in the dark of the night, I wish I could hold her tight
G C Am7 D
And I'd like to pursue, just a little rendez-vous
C D G G/F# Em G/D
I'm sure feeling fine, cause the stars will align
