But, we’re a lone now

and I’m sing ing this song to you.

I know your im age of me

is what I hope to be.

I’ve treat ed you un kind ly,

but, dar ling, can’t you see

there’s no one more im (F)por tant to me?

Ba by,

can’t you see through me?

’Cause (Fmaj7)we’re a lone now

and I’m sing ing this song to you.

You taught me pre cious se crets of a true (B)love,

with hold ing (Bb)noth ing.

You (F)came out in front when (Bb)I was hid ing.

But, now I’m (A7)so much bet ter,
