I was taken _ [F] unaware I [C] remember
_ [G] Sunlight [Am] creeping _ in the window
[F] Oh, _ [G] _
[C] the touch
_ [Am] _ My awakening as we [Dm] rise
Our golden slumber's no more
[Bb] Only you [Am] are in [C] my _ eyes
[Am] And now I'll never be the same
[Dm] Would you marry me?
_ [F] _ _ _
[C] If I were a bell
[Cm] Baby, I would ring
[C] Tell the whole world that you are [Bb] my [A] everything
[C] If I were a bell
[Cm] Baby, you would know
[C] That you are [Em] my
And [Bb] if, what?
_ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ Baby, I would ring [Em] _ [Dm] for [G] you
_ _ _ [Ab] _ [G] _ _
[C] Early morning
