[Chorus]
  A
Because you are in love
     D
Your eyes begin to open
   A         Amaj7  C#m7      Dmaj7   E
As if you had awoken   from a sleep
  A
Because you are in love
    D
You use imagination
    A               C#m
And lose your concentration
     F#m     A         D#m   G#7
When someone drops his name

You're back in his arms as always

Your day-dreams work out that way
    A#m7                  D#7
It's all just a trick you mind plays
    D#m       C#
The more love grows
    F#               D#m7
The more it says the same
                        C#
(Same little girl who's frightened)
C#             F#
But I love him so
                        C#
(Same little girl who's sure)
C#                 E
That she loves him so
                     B                          E7
(Sees with a woman's vision, knows what a woman knows)
 
 
[Chorus 2]
  A
Because we are in love
   D
We reach for our tomorrows
    A                C#m
And know we won't be lonely
   F#m      A      D      E
In laughter and in sorrows
      A          C#
Where love abides
           F#m         E        D       Dm
There is a place we'll keep our love forever
A       F#m
You and I

Because we are in love
