When the (D)morn ing sun
is streaks a (A)cross my room,
and I’m (G)wak ing up
so, from an oth er (D)dream (Em7)with (D)you, yes, you know I’m on the road
once a (A)gain it seems.
and All that’s (G)left be hind

But you know that I love you;
you know that I (G)love you;
oh,

is all we’d (A)need to live;
what a (G)life we’d have,
so, ’cause I’ve got so (D)much (Em7)to (D)give.
But you know I feel so sad
down in (A)side my heart
and that the (G)dol lar signs
should be the keep ing (D)us (Em7)a (D)part.
But you know that I love you;
you know that I (G)love you; oh,
I (D)love you.
And (A)how I (D)love you.
And if (A7)on ly I could find my way back (D)to the time
when the (D7)prob lems of this life had not yet (G)crossed my mind;
and the (C9)an swers could be found in chil dren’s (F)nurs ’ry rhymes.
(Am)I’d come (G)run
ning back to (C)you.
I’d come (A)run
ning back to (D)you,
mmm.
But you (D)love you.
But you know that I (A)love you;
you know that I (G)love you; oh, I (D)love you.
But you know that I (A)love you;
you know that I (G)love you; oh, I (D)love you.
But you know that I (D)love you.
