[Am] You'll be [Em7] thinking [Am] of [Em7] me

[Am] Somehow [Em7] I will [Am] know

[C] Some day when I'm [C7] lonely

[Am] Then we [Em7] will re[Am]mem[Em7]ber

[Am] Things we [Em7] said to[A]day

[A] Me I'm just the [D] lucky kind

[B7] Love to hear you [E7] say that love is [A] love

And though we [D] may be blind

[B7] Love is here to [Bbmaj7] stay and that's

E[Am]nough to [Em7] make you [Am] mine [Em7] girl

[Am] Be the [Em7] only [Am] one [Em7]

[Am] Love me [Em7] all the [Am] time [Em7] girl

[Am] We'll go [Em7] on and [Am] on

[C] Someday when we're [C7] dreaming

[F] Deep in love not a [Bb] lot to say
