And the thought cross es my (Am7)mind,

if I nev er wake up in the (C)morn ing,

(D)would she ev er doubt

the way I feel a bout her in my (G)heart.

If to mor row nev er (C)comes,

will she know how much I (G)loved her?

Did I try in ev ’ry (D)way

to (Am7)show her ev ’ry day

that (C)she’s my on ly one?

And if my (Am7)time on (G)earth were (C)through,

and she must face this (D)world with (Em7)out me,
