     D                           G            D 
There was a time when I felt I'd never love again for hurt had 
                    A  
taken all my love away 
     D                                G              D 
My faith was gone and I knew I'd never trust another man 
     E                    A        D 
And loneliness was in my life to stay 

                      G                    D       
Not long ago I met a man he was so good to me I never thought of 
        A     D 
him as one to love 
      D                            G            D 
He always seemed to be around when I needed company 
                             A       D 
He made my world a better place to live 

Step up to E 
     E                            A        E 
The other day I noticed he was staring at me his eyes looked at me 
           B 
as if to say 

Outro 
       E                               A             E 
I know that you're a woman starved for love and tenderness 
                         B         E 
You need the love that only I can give 
                                A                     E 
Then he touched me and my world started turnin' once again 
                                   B             E 
When he kissed me my lips started burnin' once again 
                                 A               E 
When he held me my feet just wouldn't touch the ground 
                                 B               E 
Now my world's so bright for there's love all around 
                                  B              E  
Now my world's so bright for there's love all around
