[Verse 1]
AI remember when you Dcaught my eye
About fell over nearly thought I'd die [ A  D]
For so long I've been prayin' for this [ A  D]
ESomeone to show me Dlove and sweet kisses
I remember trying to talk to you [ A  D]
My mouth froze up couldn't even chew [ A  D]
But you made it easy with the way you smiled [ A  D]
and the rest is history [ E  D]
[chorus]
AStrike up the A/C#band I Dfeel like dancin'
Who would-a ever thought my chances [ A  A/ C#  D]
Would be to find a love like this one [ A  A/ C#  D]                   E  D  
You show me all the things I've been missin'
Break out the wine we got no sorrow [ A  A/ C#  D]Drinking like there's no tomorrow [ A  A/ C#  D  
We gonna stop well I say never [ A  A/ C#  D]
We got a love that lasts forever E  D

[Verse 2]
I'm goin' down to old San Fran
My little girl she holds my hand
We walk the streets til the lights go out
I love you baby there ain't no doubt
There's something honey that you got to know
Tomorrow I'm leavin' got to tell you so
So raise your glass to the times we had
And the day I'll come back home
[chorus]
