(Em7)I hear mu sic (Ebdim)when I look at (Dm7)you,

I hear it (Dm7)play,

I feel it (Dm7)start,

then melt a (D9)way.

(Em7)I hear mu sic (Ebdim)when I touch your (Dm7)hand,

a beau ti ful (C)mel o (B7)dy from (Bb6)some en (A7)chant ed (Dm7)land,

down (G7)deep in my (Em7)heart,

I hear it (Dm7)say,

is this the (C)day?

(E)I a lone

have heard this (F#m)love ly strain,

(Emaj7)I a lone

have heard this (Bbm7)glad re frain.

(Abm)Must it be

for ev er in (Db7)side of me?

Why can’t I (Gb7)let you go?

Why can’t I (B7)let you know?

Why can’t I (Em7)let you know the (Ebdim)song my heart would (Dm7)sing?

That beau ti ful (Cmaj7)rhap so dy of (C7)love and youth and (Fmaj7)spring,

the mu sic is (Cmaj7)sweet,

the words are (Dm7)true,

the song is (Cmaj7)you.
