Lyrics

(Gm)Where do I be gin

to tell the sto ry of how (D7)great a love can be,

the sweet love sto ry that is (Gm)old er than the sea,

the sim ple truth a bout the (D7)love she brings to me?

Where do I (Gm)start?

(Gm)With her first hel lo

she gave a mean ing to this (D7)emp ty world of mine.

There’d nev er be an oth er (Gm)love, an oth er time;

she came in to my life and (D7)made the liv ing fine.

Where do I (Gm)start?

She fills my (Gmaj7)heart.

She fills my (Cm)heart

with ver y (F7)spe cial things, with an gel (Bbmaj7)songs,

with wild i (Ebmaj7)mag in ings.

She fills my (A)soul

with so much (Gm)love that an y where I (Cm)go

I’m nev er (F7)lone ly.

With her a (Bbmaj7)long,

who could be (Eb)lone ly?

I reach for her (A7)hand;

it’s al ways (Dmaj7)there.

(Gm)How long does it last?

Can love be meas ured by the (D7)ho urs in a day?

I have no an swers now, but (Gm)this much I can say:

I know I’ll need her till the (D7)stars all burn a way,

and she’ll be (Gm)there.
