and there you were

With sweet love and devotion

I want to stop and thank you baby

How sweet it is to be loved by you
[Verse 2]
C Am
I close my eyes at night,
G F# F
wondering where would I be without you in my life
C Am
Everything I did was just a bore,
G F# F
everywhere I went it seems I'd been there before
C F
But you brightened up for me all of my days
Am F F#m
With a love so sweet in so many ways
C F C F
I want to stop and thank you baby

I want to stop and thank you baby

(How sweet it is to be loved by you)
