[Eb] After long enough of [Ab] being alone [F] Everyone must face their share [Eb] of loneliness
[Cm] In my [F] own time nobody [Bb] knew [Ab] The [Eb] pain I was going [Ab] through
[Fm] And waiting was all [Eb] my [Bb] heart could do
[Eb] Hope was all I had until [F] you came
Maybe you can't see how much you [Eb] mean to me
[Gm] [Cm] You were the [F] dawn breaking [Bb] the promise [Ab]
[Eb] of morning [Ab] light
[F] Filling the world [Bb] surrounding me when I hold [Db] you
Baby, baby, it feels like baby [Fm] Things will be alright
[Db] Baby, baby, your love is baby [Eb] Great as a [Bb] song
Sing forever [Eb] only yesterday When I [Fm] was sad and
[Bb] lonely
[Eb] You showed me the way to leave the [Fm] past and all its [Bb] tears behind [G] me
Tomorrow may be [F] brighter than today
[C] Since [Fm] I threw [Bb] my sadness [Ab] away
Only [Bb] [Eb] yesterday

Hello
I've found my home here in your [Ab]

[Eb] The best is about to [Ab] be
[F] So much is left [Bb] for us to see
When I hold [Db] you
Baby, baby, it feels like baby [Fm] Things will be alright
[Db] Baby, baby, your love is [Bb] baby Great as a song
Sing forever [Eb] only yesterday [Ab] When I was sad [Bb]
and lonely
