Intro: E E/A E
E Fdim7
Before the laughter and the cheer,
A Am6/9 Am6
Dissolves into his memory,
E Fdim7
Taste of vodka on his lips,
F#
And thoughts of murder and doom,
F#7
As her eyes appeared to bloom,
E
He wanted to touch them,
Fdim7 F# D#m7/b5
But was afraid she might be taken aback,
E E/A E
Then what would he say?
They walked to the garden in the park,
When it was empty after dark.
Then spread out a blanket,
And laid down and a voice said,
"No one else could hear
He whispered in her ear,
E/B E(b5)
"Although, I can't sing it now,
A Am Am6
Be still, cause some day, baby,
E B7 Bdim7 C#m C
I will sing you a love you song,
Am6 E E/A E
Oh, oh, oh
She rolled over and a kiss
Laid softly on his chin and said
"You know maybe there's a chance
That your feelings you've mistook
Or have presently overlooked
You say you don't love me
But yet perhaps you just forget
That you do
He said that
"I love you, please, believe
The only matter of concern
Is that your love will one day fade
If that should happen, I would die
And that's the reason why
I know I can't sing it now but be still
'Cause some day, baby
I will sing you a love you song
Oh, oh, oh.
( E
She said, How could you question
C#m )
When the root of my affection
D#dim7 E
Is so plain and obvious?
D#dim7 C#m
It grew from the overwhelming pleasure
F#
Of just being near you
C D#dim7
And now you bring in doubts
E A A/b5
And they are smothering our love
E Amaj7 A/b5
C#m E E/D#
A6 Am6 E E/A E
