  			C              F    Fm		        C    C/B   Am 
Once in ev'ry life     someone comes along; 
           
Am7            Dm   Dm7           G             C 
And you came to me --      it was almost like a song. 
 
C              F    Fm		             C    C/B   Am 
You were in my arms     just where you belong; 
 
Am7            Dm     Dm7         G              C 
We were so in love --      it was almost like a song.

January through December 
 
Dm7             G7        C         C/B      Am 
We had such a perfect year; 
 
      Em 
Then the flame became a dying ember, 
 
Dm7        Gdim(II)            G7 
All at once, you weren't here. 
 
 
C              F    Fm		             C    C/B   Am 
Now by broken heart      Cries for you at night, 
                       Dm     Dm7      G                C   F   G 
And it's almost like a song,      but it's too sad to write. 
 
 
 C      C7     F    Fm                   C      C/B    Am 
Now my broken heart    cries for you at night, 
 
                        Dm    Dm7       
And it's almost like a song, 
 
         Fdim(I)          Am    Am7+   Am7    D7 
But it's much too sad to write, 
 
         Dm7      C     F     C 
It's too sad to write.
