Lyrics

(Am)Where do I be gin

to tell the sto ry of how (E7)great a love can be?

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

the sim ple (Dm7)truth a bout the (E)love she brings to me?

Where do I (Am)start?

With her first hel lo

she gave a mean ing to this (E7)emp ty world of mine;

there’d nev er be an oth er (Am)love, an oth er time.

She came in (Dm7)to my life and (E)made the liv ing fine,

she fills my (Amaj7)heart.

(Em7)She (A7)fills my (Dm)heart

with ver y (G7)spe cial things; with an gel (Cmaj7)songs,

with wild im (F)ag in ings.

She fills my (Bm7)soul

with so much (Am)love, that an y where I (Dm)go

I’m nev er (G7)lone ly; with her a (Cmaj7)long,

who could be (F)lone ly?

I reach for her (B7)hand,

it’s al ways (E)there.

(Am)How long does it last?

Can love be meas ured by the (E7)hours in a day?

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

I know I’ll (Dm7)need her till the (E)stars all burn a way,

and she’ll be (Am)there.
