Nostalgia hit [C] me as I [Ab] recall the [G] day I knew that I loved [A] you.
[Ab]
You passed me by on a starry night.
How [Ab] could I forget you were stunning?
[Db] A vision [Ab] of perfection, heaven's very [Eb] essence, that you were a shining star to me.
[E]
The [Db]
[Bbm] [Gb] [D] [Db] way you smiled, it was [Ab] a work of art.
You [G] wouldn't believe how it thrilled me.
[Gbm] We used to talk on the phone till three.
It [Eb] made my mother so angry.
[G] [Eb] And when we shared [Ab] our first dance underneath the moon [Ebm] and starlit sky, I knew [B] that you were mine.

[Abm] [Ab] [Abm]
[Gb] [Dbm] I think it [C] after all this time and all these years together, [D] all the [G] memories made that
you [B] would be tired by now.
[Ab]
It should have grown dull or stagnant.
But with each [Abm] passing day, there's [Bb] never a moment [Eb] I regret saying, hello [Ab] miss.
How you [Eb] doing?
I would like to know you.
[Bb] [G] But you brushed me off, immediately [Gbm] gave me the coldest shoulder [Fm] I've ever received, which
made me want [A] to get to know [D] you even more.
[Fm] That's when I ran [Ab] into you [F] at the bookstore, your hair [Gb] pinned back while [G] listening to music.
[Db] [Ab] I said, Fats, make your move now before it's too late.
[Eb]
Don't let her get away.
Be [Bb] brave.
And then I said, darling, [Eb] if you'll just give me a chance, [Bb] I'll treat [Gb] you like a crown [Db] is yours.
That [Fm] was 50 years [Abm] ago today.
Despite the ups and downs, [Ab] I wouldn't change a thing.
[D]
[Db] It's hard to think of my life without [D] you.
[G] I don't think I'd make it.
You're my anchor through every [F] storm that's ever come our [C] way.
[Ab] And I'm not just talking, [C] I mean [Bb] what I say.
[Ebm]
If [F] you don't believe me, I'll just have [Eb] to spend the rest of my entire life showing how
much you mean to me.
I'll sing, [G] I'll dance, I'll shout it from the highest mountain [Ab] top.
All this to say [A] that I'm still so in love with [Ab] you.
Nostalgia hit me as I recalled [G] the day I knew that I [Db] loved you.
And now the feelings are [Ab] just as strong as when I first laid [Cm] eyes on you.

A vision [Ebm] of perfection, [Ab] heaven's very [E] essence, [Eb] I believe you're [Gbm] all I'll ever [Db] need.
