Lyrics

Some times the (C)snow comes down in (F)June.

when Some times the (Bb)sun goes ’round the (Dm)moon.

I the (C)pas sion in your (F)eyes.

Some times it’s (C)all a big sur (F)prise.

’Cause there was a (Bb)time when all I (F)did was wish you’d (Gm7)tell me this was (F)love.

It’s not the (Cm7)way I hoped or (Bb)how I planned, but the (Eb)some how (Bb)it’s e (C)nough.

(CN.C.)And now we’re (C)stand ing face to (F)face.

Is n’t this (Bb)world a cra zy (Dm)place?

Just when I (C)thought our chance had (F)passed,

you go and (C)save the best for (Bb)last.

All of the (C)nights you came to (F)me when some sil ly (Bb)girl had set you (Dm)free.

You dered (C)how you’d make it (F)through.

I won dered (C)what was wrong with (F)you.

’Cause how could you (Bb)give your love to (F)some one else and (Gm7)share your dreams with (F)me?

Some times the (Cm7)ver y thing you’re (Bb)look ing for is the (Eb)one thing (Bb)you can’t (C)see.

(CN.C.)But now we’re (C)stand ing face to (F)face.

Is n’t this (Bb)world a cra zy (Dm)place?

Just when I (C)thought our chance had (F)passed, you go and (C)save the best for (Bb)last.

All of the (F)last.

Some times the (Cm7)ver y thing you’re (Bb)look ing for is the (Eb)one thing (Bb)you can’t (C)see.

(CN.C.)Some times the (F)last.

You and (Bb)saved the (C)best for (Bb)last.
