Lyrics

It’s (F6)June

in Jan u (D7)a ry, be cause I’m in love;

it al ways is spring in my heart, with (F)you in my arms.

The (F6)snow

is just white (D7)blos soms that fall from a bove,

and here is the rea son my dear: your (F)mag i cal charms.

The night is (Bb7)cold,

the trees are (E)bare,

but I can feel the scent of (G7)ros es in the (C7)air.

It’s (F6)June

in Jan u (D7)a ry, be cause I’m in love,

but on ly be cause I’m in love with (F)you.

It’s (F6)June

in Jan u (D7)a ry, be cause I’m in love;

it al ways is spring in my heart, with (F)you in my arms.

The (F6)snow

is just white (D7)blos soms that fall from a bove,

and here is the rea son my dear: your (F)mag i cal charms.

The night is (Bb7)cold,

the trees are (E)bare,

but I can feel the scent of (G7)ros es in the (C7)air.

It’s (F6)June

in Jan u (D7)a ry, be cause I’m in love,

but on ly be cause I’m in love with (F)you.

It’s you.
