Lyrics

I bring her cof fee in the (A)morn ing,

she brings me in ner peace.

I take her out to fan cy (A)res tau rants,

she takes the sad ness out of (E)me.

I make her cards on her (A)birth day,

she makes me a bet ter man.

I take her wat er when she’s (A)thirs ty,

she takes me as I am.

I (A)love it when her mind no (B)wan ders

and she (E)loves it when I stay at home.

I (A)know what she’s lost and she (C#)knows when I feel a lone.

From (E)all my airs and (B)grac es to the (C#)lit tle things I (A)do.

(E)Ev ’ry thing is (B)point less with out (A)you.

Of (E)all the dreams I’m (B)chas ing, there’s (C#)on ly one I (A)choose.

(E)Ev ’ry thing is (B)point less with out (A)you.

I light the fi re when it’s (A)cold out

and she lights up the room.

I hope that she’ll love me for (A)ev er,

she hopes I’ll be back soon.

I take her out to the (A)mov ies,

she takes a way my pain.

She is the start of (A)ev ’ry thing

and I’ll be there ’til the end.

I (A)you.

(E)I’ll wait for you, (A)I’ll wait for you, (C#)you’ll wait for me (A)too.

(A)too.

From (E)all my airs and (B)grac es to the (C#)lit tle things I (A)do.

(E)Ev ’ry thing is (B)point less with out (A)you.

Of (E)all the dreams I’m (B)chas ing, there’s (C#)on ly one I (A)choose.

(E)Ev ’ry thing is (B)point less with out (A)you.

Ev ’ry thing is (B)point less with out (E)you.
