Lyrics

There was a (F)time you

I was (Am7)ev ’ry thing

and noth ing all in (Dm)one.

but When you (Bb)found me, ty,

I was (Gm7)feel ing like a cloud don’t a cross the sun.

Well, I

need to (F)tell you

how you (Am7)light up ev

’ry sec ond of the (Dm)day,

but in the (Bb)moon light, ty,

you just (Gm7)shine less like a bea don’t con of the bay.

Well, I

need to

And I can’t ex (F)plain,

but there’s (A7)some thing a bout the way

you (Dm)look to night,

(D7)takes

my breath a (Gm)way.

It’s that (Gm7)feel ing I get a bout

you

(C)deep in side.

And I can’t de (F)scribe,

but there’s (A7)some thing a bout the way

you (Dm)look to night,

takes (F)my (Gm)breath (F)a way.

The way you look to (F)night.

With that (F)night,

the way you (Ab)look to (F)night,

the way you (Ab)look to (F)night,

the way you (Ab)look to (F)night,

the way you (Ab)look to (F)night,

the way you (Ab)look

to night,

the (Bb)way you look (F)to night,

the (Bb)way you look (F)to night,

the way you (Ab)look

to (F)night.
