 I should have known you years ago
   3        4      5       -6     -5      6      6     -4 5 
 Where on earth were you long years ago 
 5     -5      6     -6        -6       6        -5 -6 6 
 I missed so much and dreamed so little
  3 4       -5     5    5     -4    -3 4
 Before you set my heart aglow 
 
 3     4        -5         5     -4      4     -3     4
 I should have known the way you smile
 3   4    -4 4         -6       -6    6 -5    6 
 As I travelled each long lonely mile
 5        -5 6       -6      -6          6       -5      -6 6 
 For memory lane should seem much sweeter
 3 4 -5       5         6     -4 -3    4
 If I had known you all the while 
 
 6      6 6       6 -5   3  -3       4      -5     5
 I'm even jealous of the flowers in Spring
 3        4       -4      5     4 -6  -5 -6   6 
 For they know long ago about you
   6        6        6        6 -5       3     3      4       -5     5
 They heard your laughter and the songs you sing
    3           4  -4     -6    -6    -6      -5 -6     6
 Through all the years I spent without you 
 
 3  4      -5   5    -4      4 -3 4
 I wish that I could truly say
 3     4    -4      4      -6      -6 6    -5 6 
 That I knew you long before today
 5       -5      6  -6    -6     6     -5 -6 6 
 But we'll go on from here together
  3   4     -5     5      6    -4 -3    4 
 And I shall love you all the way
