Intro Verse:
 C                    Gdim G7                  
Ev'rything went wrong, and the whole day long,
     Dm7 G7  C     Fdim  G7 
And feel so blue.        
 C              Gdim   G7                    
For the longest while,  I'd forgot to smile,
     Dm7 G7  C  C7  
Then  I  met you.
 Em          C7              B7    
Now that my blue days have passed,
                           Em      Gdim 
Now that I've found you at last.   

        
Melody:
C                           G7                       C     
I'll be loving you always, with a love that's true always.
C                    C7      E                   
When the things you planned need a helping hand,
B7                E       G7      
I will understand always, always.
C                       C7    B7  Bb7 
Days may not be fair always;      
A7                          Dm    
That's when I'll be there always.
F6             Dm7-5  C              D9   
Not for just an hour, not for just a day,

G7                       C               G7 
Not for just a year, but always.
