there was (Ebm7)not an oth er soul in (Ab)sight,

So we (Ebm7)walked

a (Ab)long,

though I (Ebm7)knew that there was some thing (Ab)wrong,

and a (Ebm7)feel ing hit me oh so (Ab)strong

a bout I you.

Then you (Gb)gazed

the (Ab)light

in your eyes,

our (Ab)fling,

I just (Ebm7)nev er would sus pect a (Ab)thing,

till that (Ebm7)lit tle bell be gan to (Ab)ring,

though I (Ebm7)knew it would n’t help me (Ab)none,

’cause I (Ebm7)could n’t ev er love no (Ab)one,

or so I said.

But my (Gb)feel

ings for (Fm7)you,

were just (Bbm)some thing I nev er (Eb)knew,

till I (Ebm7)saw

the (Ab)light

in your eyes,

in your eyes.

Though we (Ebm)had

In my eyes.

In my eyes.
