Lyrics

The sun comes up,

I think a bout (Bb6)you.

The cof fee cup,

I think a bout (Eb)you.

I want you so,

it’s like I’m los ing my mind.

morn ing ends,

I talk to friends,

And do they know?

It’s

All af ter (Dm(aug))noon, do ing (Dm6)ev ’ry lit tle (A7)chore,

the thought of (Dm7)you stays (Bbdim)bright.

Some times I (Cm(aug))stand in the (Cm6)mid dle of the (G7)floor,

not go ing left,

not go ing (F9)right.

I dim the lights

and think a bout (Bb6)you, spend sleep less nights

to think a bout (Eb)you.

You said you loved (Dm)me, or were you just be ing kind:

or am I los ing my (Bb)mind?

I want you so,

it’s like I’m los ing my mind.

Does no one know?

It’s like I’m los ing my mind.

not go ing (Ab9)right.

I dim the lights

and think a bout (Db6)you, spend sleep less nights

to think a bout (Gb)you.

You said you loved (Fm)me, or were you just be ing kind?

Or am I los ing my (CN.C.)mind?
