D              Bm          Em      A7 
Why do robins sing in December 
F#m7             Bm7           G     Edim  
Long before the Springtime is due 
    G                F#m7        G          E7 
And even though it's snowing, violets are growing

I know why and so do you 
D              Bm            Em       A7 
Why do breezes sigh ev'ry evening 
F#m7            Bm7          G     Edim 
Whispering your name as they do

And why have I the feeling stars are on my ceiling

I know why and so do you
