Its not the words "You know I'll always love you"
G                     D                  G
It's not the words "I wish that I could stay"
  G                           G7           C
It's more the way your lips looked as you spoke them
 G                     D              G
And how the moonlight fell upon your face
C   D      G          D                    G

         D                               C             G
And for every time you said no she says honey I'll be glad to
         D                               C               D
And for every time you left me she says darling I'll be there
G                  C       
It's not the words "You'll get over me"
      G        C          G
That made my dreams come true
C   D      G          D                   G

    D                        C                       D
And if I had not loved you I would never have known love
