        D           Bm       D              Bm 
Well I hoped and I prayed I loved you from afar 
   D            Bm       D             Bm 
I cried and I dreamed wished on every star 
       G 
But nothing I do got me closer to you 
        A                     A7 
So I locked all my feelings inside 
 D        Bm      D              Bm 
Then one night across a crowded room  
      D       Bm        D                  Bm 
You looked my way your eyes held something new 
      G 
You walked right up to me Smiled tenderly  
     A                     A7 
The words came as such a surprize 

(A7)    D                     Bm      E9 
How was I to know?  You never let it show 
                    G                               Gm    A  
What a beauty like you might see in a poor boy like me-ee-ee 
A7        D                          Bm     E9 
How could I have seen?  You walk out of my dreams  
                           G 
Shining your light on my sleeping heart 
         Gm       A 
Into my soul-oul-oul 
        Gm    A7      D 
How was I-I-I-I   to know? 
 
 
      D      Bm       D             Bm 
You took my hand and led me to the door 
     D             Bm      D                  Bm 
We talked and we laughed about all the times before 
G                                 A                      A7 
Two lonely peple so much in love pass like ships in the night 
 
chorus, lead, to ending 
 
ENDING: 
A7        D                           Bm 
How could I have seen?  You  walk out of my dreams  
                            G 
Shining your light on my sleeping heart 
        Gm        A 
Into my soul-oul-oul 
        Gm    A 
How was I-I-I-I 
        Gm    A7    D 
How was I-I-I-I to know?
