Since the moment
I spotted you

Like walking round with
Eb
Little wings on my shoes

My stomach's filled with

The butterflies

And it's alright

Bouncing round from
Cloud to cloud

And take on the world
And be together forever
Bb F
Heads we will and
Eb
Tails we'll try again
Bb F

And I hold each other
Eb
And fly to the moon and
Straight on to heaven

Cause without you they're
Eb
Never gonna let me in

And I say "Oh here we go again"
