in the (Em7)morn ing sun.

I (Fmaj7)heard your whis per on the breeze at (Bb)night.

I (C)prayed one day

that your (Fmaj7)arms

would hold me (C)tight.

And (C)just when I

thought love had (Fmaj7)passed me by,

we (C)met.

That (C)first look noth ing in your eyes

shall I can’t for (Am)get.

You (Fmaj7)melt ed me

with your (Em7)ten der touch.

I (Fmaj7)felt all fear and sor row slip a (Bb)way.

Now (C)here we stand

hand in (Fmaj7)hand

this bless ed (C)day.

(G7)I (C)prom ise you,

thought as I (Fmaj7)give to you

my (C)heart,

that (C)noth ing, noth ing in this world

shall keep us a (Am)part.

Come (Fmaj7)hap pi ly,

ev er (Em7)af ter be

the (Fmaj7)man I’ll love un til the ver y (Bb)end.

I’ve (C)dreamed of you,

my great (Fmaj7)hand

this bless ed (C)day.

(G7)I (Fmaj7)love

and my best (Am)friend.

For (F)God must know

how I (Em)love you so.

He’s (F)blessed us here to day as man, as (Bb)wife.

Come (C)dream with me

as I’ve (Fmaj7)dreamed of you

all my (C)life.

Come (C)dream with me

as I have (F)dreamed of you

all my life.
