G     D      G 
I had almost forgotten you 

C                    G 
Springtime in New York 

C             D           G              Em 
You hugged me you know looking beautiful so

I will forget about forgetting you for now

Becky please forgive me

I’ve been stinking low

We could dance around it for days

Even when it hurts 

C          D                 G              Em 
If we both do our best we'll just leave the rest 

C                    D                     G 
To the stars and the breeze you see in the trees

So Becky please forgive me
