Lyrics

Once in ev ’ry (Dm)life,

some one comes a (C)long,

and you came to (Dm7)me.

It was al most like a (C)song.

You were in my (Dm)arms,

just where you be (C)long,

we were so in (Dm7)love.

It was al most like a (C)song.

Jan u ar y through De (Em7)cem ber,

we had such a per fect (C)year;

then the flame be came a (Em7)dy ing em (C#dim7)ber; (Dm7)all at once (Bbmaj7)you weren’t (Gsus)there.

Now my bro ken (Dm)heart

cries for you each (G)night.

It’s al most like a (Dm)song,

but it’s too sad to (C7)write.

Jan u ar y through De (Em7)cem ber,

we had such a per fect (C)year;

then the flame be came a (Em7)dy ing em (C#dim7)ber; (Dm7)all at once (Bbmaj7)you weren’t (Gsus)there.

Now my bro ken (Dm)heart

cries for you each (G)night.

It’s al most like a (Dm)song,

but it’s too sad to (C7)write.

(Dm)song,

but it’s too sad to (Am)write.

It’s too sad to (C)write.
