C#
Well, back in the past,
when I was treated so coldly
My love life was a darn disgrace
Needed someone to love and hold me
That's one of the reasons that
I was out of place

C#
So this is love? Well,
    B
she finally kissed me
C#                B
Had me all worked up inside
C#              B
I was in love, but Cupid missed me
C#                        B
She upped and left, and I almost died

G#
But I was young, and I was far from lonely
I been that way for a long, long year
Needed a girl to call my one and only
Is that you?

Chorus:
F#                    G#     F#
You think you got the int'rest
C'mon and take the time
'Cause you know I wanna be
            D#
Yours in a simple rhyme

Well, ain't life grand when you finally hit it?
I'm always a sucker for a real good time
Woke up in life to find I almost missed it
Ain't I glad that love is blind?

But I was young, and I was far too crazy
Been that way for a long, long time
Needed a girl, but I was just too lazy
Now that I've found you:

Chorus:
You think you got the int'rest
C'mon and take the time
I'm gonna be
Yours in a simple

C#          B
She made the mountains sing
Birds against an icy sky
And I heard bells ringin'
I think I heard an angel sigh

     F#
She said:
              E   F#
"There'll be times
               E
There will be times

You're gonna hear the angels singin'
You're gonna hear the angels sing
They'll say

Chorus:
You think you got the int'rest
C'mon and take the time
I'm gonna be
Yours in a simple
