C#m Asus2 E
So put me in the river and let me say I do
(E Asus2 B C#m)Asus2 E
I'm only alive with you
You're a sight for sore eyes and a newborn cry
In a year where there are so few
If you throw me a line I'll show you in time
I'm fallin' in love with you
Though my heart has been torn by loves I have worn
And I'm tempted by them ever still
I tremble inside when you walk in the room
You hold my affections and will
