Lyrics
You give your (F6/9)hand to me,
who then you say hel lo.
who I can hard ly speak,
my heart is beat ing so.
Oh, an y one can tell
you think you know me well.
You don’t (Ab13)know me.
No, you don’t (F6/9)know the one
who dreams of you at night,
who longs to kiss your lips,
my longs to hold you tight.
To you, I’m just a friend,
that’s all I’ve ev er been.
You don’t (Ab13)know me.
No, you don’t You don’t know (Bbmaj9)me.
’Cause I

of mak ing (D)love,
though my (C)heart aches with love for (Fmaj9)you.
A fraid and (Dm7)shy,
I let my (D7#5)chance go by,
the (G)chance that you might (Gm7)love me, too.
You give your (F6/9)hand
to me,
then you (Ebsus2)say good bye.
I watch (Bbmaj9)you
walk a way
be side that luck y guy,

You don’t know
(Dm7)me.
