the most beautiful woman that I'd ever seen.

She said, "Boy can I tell you a wonderful thing?"
Am
"I can't help but notice you staring at me,
F
I know I shouldn't say this, but I really believe,
G
I can tell by your eyes that you're in love with me."
F G Am F G
Now son, I'm only telling you this because life can do terrible things.
C

Am
and we'd laugh at the stars and share everything.
