Lyrics

What am I to you?

Tell me, dar lin’ true.

To me you are the sea,

vast as you can be,

and deep the shade of blue.

(G)When you’re feel in’ low,

oh, to whom else do you go?

See, I’d cry if you (F)hurt;

I’d give you my last shirt

be cause I love you so.

Now, (F)if my (Eb)sky

should (C)fall,

would you e ven call?

I I’ve o pened up my heart;

I nev er wan na part.

I’m giv ing you the ball.

(G)When I look in

your eyes,

I can feel

the (Am)but ter flies.

I will love you when you’re blue, but tell me dar lin’ (G)true,

what am I to you?

Could you find a love in me?

Would you carve me in a tree?

Don’t fill my heart

with lies.

I will love you when you’re blue,

but tell me dar lin’ true,

what am I to you?

Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "What Am I To You" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 70 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
