Lyrics

It was no (C)ac ci dent,

me find ing (Bb)you.

Some one had a (F)hand in it

long be fore we ev er (C7)knew.

Now I just (C)can’t be lieve

a you’re in my (Bb)life.

Heav en’s smil in’ (F)down on me

as I look at you to (C7sus)night.

So I tip my (Bb)hat

to the Keep er of the (Am)Stars.

He sure knew what He was (Gm)do in’

when He joined these two (F)hearts.

I hold ev ’ry (Bb)thing

when I hold you in my (Am)arms.

I’ve got all I’ll ev er (Gm)need,

thanks to the Keep er of the (Bb)Stars.

Soft moon light (C)on your face,

oh, how you (Bb)shine.

It takes my a (F)breath a way

just to look in to your (C7)eyes.

I know I (C)don’t de serve

a treas ure like (Bb)you.

There real ly in’ (F)are no words

as to show my grat i (C7sus)tude.

So I tip my (Bb)hat

to the Keep er of the (Am)Stars.

He sure knew what He was (Gm)do in’

when He joined these two (F)hearts.

I hold ev ’ry (Bb)thing

when I hold you in my (Am)arms.

I’ve got all I’ll ev er (Gm)need,

thanks to the Keep er of the (Bb)Stars.

(F)Stars.

It was no (C)ac ci dent,

me find ing (Bb)you.

Some one had a (F)hand in it

long be fore we ev er (F)knew.
