Lyrics

What a dif f’rence a (Gm7)day made;

twen ty four lit tle (F)ho urs

brought the (Ab13)sun and the (Gm7)flow ers

where there used to be rain.

My yes ter day was (Em11)blue, dear,

to day I’m part of (Dm7)you, dear.

My lone ly nights are (G7sus)through, dear,

since you said you were (C7sus)mine.

What a diff ’rence a (Gm7)day made;

there’s a rain bow be (F)fore

me.

Skies a (Ab13)bove can’t be (Gm7)storm y

since that mo ment of (F7)bliss;

that thrill ing (Cm7)kiss.

It’s heav en when you

find ro mance on your (Am7)men u.

What a dif f’rence a (Gm7)day made

and the dif f’rence is you.

and the dif f’rence is (F)you,

(C7)is

(F)you.

(C7)Is

(F)you.

(C7)Is
