E E/(D#) C#m7 C#m7/(B)
Whenever I see your smiling face,
A A/(G#) F#m7 B7sus4 E C#m7 F#m7 B7sus4
I have to smile myself, because I love you.
E E/(D#) C#m7 C#m7/(B)
And when you give me that pretty little pout
A A/(G#) F#m7
it turns me inside out.

There's something about you baby, I don't know.

long before I met you. Now I'm sure that I won't forget you.
F# F#/(F) D#m7 D#m7/(C#)
And I thank my lucky stars that
B B/(A#) G#m7 C#7sus4
you are who you are and not just
F# D#m7 G#m7 B7sus4 Bb7/D
another lovely lady sent down to break my heart.
