[E] Well, [D]
[Em]
[Gm] [A]
[D] I hoped and I prayed I loved you from afar
[Gbm] I cried and I dreamed Wished on every [G] star
But nothing I do Got me closer to you
[A] So I locked all my feelings inside
[D] Then one night
Across a crowded [Gbm] room You looked my way
And your [D] eyes held something [G] new You walked right up to me
You smiled tenderly [A] And your words came as such a surprise
How [D] was I to know You'd [E] never let [Bm] it show
[E] What a beauty [Em] like you I've seen And a poor [Bb] boy like [A] me
[D] How could I see You [Bm] walk out of my dreams
[E] Shine your light on [Em] my sleeping heart Into [Bb] my soul
[A] [Gm] How was [Bb] I [A] [D] to know
You took my hand And led me out the [Gbm] door
We talked and we laughed About all the times [G] before
Two lonely people So much in [A] love
Passed like ships in the night
[D] How was I to know You'd [E] never let it [Bm] show
