Intro Verse:
C Gdim G7
Ev'rything went wrong, and the whole day long,
Dm7 G7 C Fdim G7
And feel so blue.
C Gdim G7
For the longest while, I'd forgot to smile,
Dm7 G7 C C7
Then I met you.
Em C7 B7
Now that my blue days have passed,
Em Gdim
Now that I've found you at last.
Melody:
C G7 C
I'll be loving you always, with a love that's true always.
C C7 E
When the things you planned need a helping hand,
B7 E G7
I will understand always, always.
C C7 B7 Bb7
Days may not be fair always;
A7 Dm
That's when I'll be there always.
F6 Dm7-5 C D9
Not for just an hour, not for just a day,
G7 C (G7)
Not for just a year, but always.
Interlude Verse:
C Gdim G7
Dreams will all come true growing old with you,
Dm7 G7 C Fdim G7
And time will fly.
C Gdim G7
Caring each day more than the day before,
Dm7 G7 C C7
The spring rolls by.
Em C7 B7
Then when the springtime has gone,
Em Gdim
Then will my love linger on.
