Lyrics
I may not (Am)al ways love you
but long as there are stars a bove you,
you’ll nev er (Gm)need to doubt it,
I’ll make you so sure a bout it.
God on ly knows what I’d be with out you.
If you should (Am)ev er leave me,
though life would still go on, be lieve me,
the world could show (Gm)noth ing to me,
so what good would liv ing do me?
God on ly knows what I’d be with out you.
God on ly knows what I’d be with out you.
God on ly (CN.C.)knows.
