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.
