If I

I won’t need

soft words to say

I (E)miss you and I can stay a (C#m)while,

You’ll (A)see it in my eyes and when I (B7)smile.

If I

get home

be (A)fore mid night

while you’re still

sleep ing tight,

I’ll (E)take you in my arms and they will (C#m)stay,

if I get home on (B)Christ mas (C)Day.

Writ ing let ters ev ’ry day, (Amaj7)nev er real ly seem to say the (F#m)way I feel you (B7)in this heart of (E)mine.

Though I’m half a world a way, (Amaj7)if we’re pa tient and we pray, I (F#m)way I feel you (B7)in this heart of (E)mine.

(F#m)know I’ll get my chance with you this (B)time.

If I (C)Day.
