[Intro]
F C F C
F C
The girl's wouldn't look anything like they do
F
Can't imagine my life without dresses and shoes
I never taking a sunset from a front porch swing
Bb G
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
F Dm C F
I'd been alone for sure, had it not been you
C F
I wouldn't reach for your arms When my dreams don't come true
C F
Never sit holding hands On a crowded church pew
I wouldn't smile when my fingers run through your hair
Bb G
Or laugh when we race to the top of the stairs
F Dm C F
I'd get old for sure, had it not been you
C F Bb
You know there are times That I can't wait to pick up the phone
C
When you're callin'
F C Dm Bb
And the three little voices That always chime in right along,
C
When we're talkin'
Bb C F
Oh I never would see through eyes of truth
Bb C
And my heart would have overlooked
C Dm Bb C
a view that some just talk of and never find, In a lifetime
F Am Dm Bb C
It's hard to describe in just words how I feel when I home and beside you
F C F Bb C
But I make it known It's just time that I kill When I'm gone and without you
Bb C F
I up all through the night If you will love me
Bb C
As long as I wake up each morning
F C Dm Bb C
I'll know I'm the only one around, For a lifetime
F
I'd never have taken in a sunset from the front porch swing
Bb G
Or make any sense of the pleasure love brings
F Am F
I'd been alone for sure, Had it not been you
