         I could love you more and more each day for a million years
        C/E                                 Cmaj7/E    D   Dsus4
        And I'd sit around all day just crying happy tears

                      D               Dsus2       D

Verse 2:

        Orange, sugar, chocolate, hot cinnamon and lovely things and you
        And darling, you know there was really nothing else that I could do

[repeat chorus]

Bridge:

                Bmaj7
        And my darling you will never know how elegant
                              Amaj7 [x06650]
            you'll always be to me
                Bmaj7
        And my darling I was so in love it was evident for anyone

Verse 3:

        To see, and I suppose they already do
        And how come so suddenly everything depends on you

[repeat chorus]

Verse 4:

        And if I kissed you once I'd probably do it again
        But then that's not so inconceivable, my friend
