Lyrics

Gal i (D)le o

fell in hap py, and

as a Gal i le an (Dmaj7)boy,

and he (Em)won dered,

β€œWhat in Heav en?

Who in here in par such a (A13)joy?”

But the (D)ques tion

got the bet ter of his sci en tif ic (Dmaj7)mind,

and to his (Em)blind

and dy ing days,

he looked up (Em7)high

and of ten (A9)sighed,

and some times (A)cried,

β€œWho puts the rain bow in the (D)sky?

Who lights the stars at night?

Who dreamt up some one so di (G)vine,

some one like you, and made them (D)mine?”

(F#)Love

can make you (A#dim7)ask some

fun ny (Bm)ques tions

now and then.

But just re (E7sus)mem ber

the al (Em7)ter na tives;

for (G)I

re mem ber (A9)when I was

who lights the (Dmaj7)stars at (Em)night;

who dreamt up (CN.C.)some one so di (G)vine,

some one like you, and made them (D)mine,

some one like (Dmaj7)you, and made them (D)mine.
