The way all sweethearts do

Can you explain how stars can shine

How sun and rain makes flowers

We don’t know how love is born

All of our whole life through

But sometimes hearts can make mistakes

I know so I’m telling you

None but the broken hearts can know 


The pain of love that’s false 

C               Am 
None but lonely empty arms  

D7                G7 
Can ever know its cause 


C               F         G7 
So be very sure you’re in love 

                       C 
And when you know it’s true 

F          G7    C      F 
Then never never let it go 

    C        G7          C 
The way some sweethearts do 


               F             G7 
Oh but we know our love will last 

                      C 
All of our whole life through 

F          G7    C      F 
Then never never let it go 

     
    C        G7      C 
Goodbye good luck to you
