    A beautiful song written by Noel Brazil
Standard tuning
It Creads like a fGairy tale
And Amthat's what it Fwas
CYoung man in his Gprime
Young Amgirl from the FCross
CThe most perfect of Gstrangers
AmThen the night closed Fin 
And the Choly Gground
GTook care of Feverything
CNow she was a Gfine one
And Amhe was a handsome Fman
COne look was enGough
And awAmay they Fran
They spent Cmany happy Ghours
And then the Amnight closed Fin 
And the Choly Gground
GTook care of Feverything
FOh, what's the Guse in comCplaining?
FIn for a Gpenny, in for a Ampound
FI remeGmber the Amloving time
FAnd nothing Gelse really Ccounts
AmAnd I recall the Cpromise they made
With a Amfaith I can but Cadmire
That sAmhe'd be the one hCe adored
FAnd he'd be her Cheart's Fdesire
CIt didn't come tGrue in the end
AmThey went their separate Fways
CHe couldn't change what he Gwas
AmShe wasn't ready to Fwait
CThey couldn't live in the Gdaylight
AmThey let the night close Fin
And the Choly Gground
GTook care of Feverything
CThey couldn't live in the Gdaylight
AmThey let the night close Fin
And the Choly Gground
GTook care of Feverything
FI remeGmber the Amloving time
FAnd nothing Gelse really Ccounts
