Top ten in USA in '71.
(Shirley Bassey also had a big hit with
it in the UK.)
Verse 1
[Gm]
Where do I begin?
[D7]
To tell the story of how great a love can be.
[Gm]
The sweet love story that is older than the sea.
[EbM7] [Eb6] [D7]
The simple truth a..bout the love she brings to me.
[D11] [D7] [D7-9] [Gm]
Where do I start?
Verse 2
[Gm]
With her first hello, she gave meaning to this
[D7]
empty world of mine.
[Gm]
There'd never be another love, another time.
[EbM7] [Eb6] [D7]
She came into my life and made the living fine.
[D11] [D7] [D7-9] [Gm]
She fills my heart.
Chorus
[D11] [D7] [GM7] [F7]
She fills my heart, with very special things,
[BbM7] [EbM7]
With angel songs, with wild imaginings.
[Am7-5] [D7] [Gm]
She fills my soul with so much love,
[Cm] [F7sus4] [F7]
that anywhere I go I'm never lone...ly.
[BbM7] [Eb]
With her along, who could be lonely?
[A7] [DM7] [D7]
I reach for her hand, it's always there...
[Verse 3A]
[Gm]
How long does it last?
[D7]
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
[Gm]
I have no answers now, but this much I can say,
[EbM7] [Eb6] [D7]
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away
[D11] [D7] [Gm] [EbM7] [Gm]
And she'll be there.
[Verse 3B]
[G#m]
How long does it last?
[D#7]
Can love be measured by the hours in a day?
[G#m]
I have no answers now, but this much I can say,
[EM7] [E6] [D#7]
I know I'll need her till the stars all burn away
[D#11] [D#7] [G#m]
And she'll be there.
A seventies smash from Kraziekhat.
