Lyrics

You’ll nev er know

you’ll nev er know

just how much I (Bbmaj7)care.

And if I tried

I still could n’t (Dbdim7)hide (G7)my love

for to (Cm7)you.

You ough ta know for have n’t I told you a (Dbm7)so, lone

a (Cm7)mil lion or (C9)more (A)times.

You went a way (Bb)and my heart went with you.

I speak your name

in my ev ’ry (G7)prayer.

If there is some oth er way

to prove (Ebdim)that I love you, I swear, I don’t know (Ab)how.

You’ll nev er know

if you don’t know (Bb)now.

(Bbmaj9)now.
