Lyrics

If you could see me now, you’d (Bb9)know how blue I’ve been.

One look is all you need to (Bb9)see the mood I’m in.

Per (Fmaj7)haps then you’d (Abm7)re al (Db7)ize I’m still in love with (Am7)you.

If you could see me now, you’d (Bb9)find me be ing brave,

and try ing aw f’lly hard to (Bb9)make my tears be have.

But (Fmaj7)that’s quite im (Abm7)pos si (Db7)ble: I’m still in love with (Am7)you.

(F)you.

You’ll (Bm9)hap pen my way on some (C#m7)mem ’ra ble day,

and the (Bm7)month will be May

for a (C#)while.

I’ll (Bm7)try to smile, but (Dm7)can not (G9)play the (Cmaj7)part

with out my (Dm7)heart

be hind the (Gm7)smile.

The way I feel for you, I (Bb7)nev er could dis guise.

The look of love is writ ten (Bb7)plain ly in your eyes.

(F)I think you’d be (Abm7)mine a (Db7)gain if you could (C)see me (F)now.

You would be mine if you could see

(C)me

(Fmaj9)now.
