I found a (G) love for (Em) me
Darling just (C) dive right in
And follow my (D) lead
Well I found a (G) girl
Beautiful and (Em) sweet
I never (C) knew you were the someone
Waiting for (D) me
Cause we were just kids
When we (G) fell in love
Not knowing (Em) what it was
I will not (C) give you up this (G) time (D)
But darling just (G) kiss me slow
Your heart is (Em) all I own
And in your (C) eyes you’re holding (D) mine
Baby, (Em) I’m (C) dancing in the (G) dark
With (D) you between my (Em) arms
(C) Barefoot on the (G) grass
(D) Listening to our (Em) favourite song
When you (C) said you looked a (G) mess
I whispered (D) underneath my (Em) breath
But you (C) heard it, darling
(G) You look (D) perfect tonight
(G) (D) (Em) (D) (C) (D)
Well I found a (G) woman
Stronger than (Em) anyone I know
She shares my (C) dreams
I hope that someday I’ll share her (D) home
I found a (G) love
To carry (Em) more than just my secrets
To carry (C) love
To carry children of our (D) own
We are still kids, but we’re (G) so in love
Fighting (Em) against all odds
I know that we’ll (C) be alright this (G) time (D)
Darling just (G) hold my hand, be my girl
I’ll (Em) be your man
I see my (C) future in your (D) eyes
Baby, (Em) I’m (C) dancing in the (G) dark
With (D) you between my (Em) arms
(C) Barefoot on the (G) grass
(D) Listening to our (Em) favourite song
When I (C) saw you in that (G) dress
Looking so (D) beautiful
I (Em) don’t (C) deserve this, darling
(G) You look (D) perfect tonight
(G) (Em) (C) (D)
Baby, (Em) I’m (C) dancing in the (C) dark
With (D) you between my (Em) arms
(C) Barefoot on the (G) grass
(D) Listening to our (Em) favourite song
I have (C) faith in what I (G) see
Now I know (D) I have met an (Em) angel
In (C) person, and (G) she looks (D) perfect tonight
No I (C) don’t deserve it, (D) you look perfect
Tonight
