Now I'm here with you little darling
And you say, you're beautiful as you are
And I've managed somehow, to survive
....
You arrived in my life a fragrance
Helped me find a way to laugh
Now I know
How so called beauty lies
God gave him a face
And he gave me something above
God gave me grace
And he gave me sweet sweet sweet love.
Chorus, all the same.
Ending
  F    Em    Dm   C(C) C  
Brilliant.
