Lyrics

I (F)just can’t help be liev in’

when she (Fmaj7)smiles up soft and gen tle,

with a (Gm)trace of mist y morn ing

and a (Gm7)prom ise of to mor row in her (F)eyes.

And I just can’t help be liev in’

when she’s (Fmaj7)ly ing close be side me,

and my (Cm)heart beats with the rhy thm of her (Bb)sighs.

This time the (Bb)girl is gon na stay.

This time the (Bbmaj7)girl is gon na stay,

(CN.C.)for more than just a day.

I (F)just can’t help be liev in’

when she (Fmaj7)slips her hand in my hand,

and it (Gm)feels so small and help less

that my (Gm7)fin gers fold a round it like a (F)glove.

And I just can’t help be liev in’

when she’s (Fmaj7)whis per in’ her mag ic,

and her (Cm)tears are shin in’ hon ey sweet with (Bb)love.

This time the (Bb)girl is gon na stay.

This time the (Bbmaj7)girl is gon na stay,

(CN.C.)for more than just a day.

I (CN.C.)for more than just a day.
