[Verse 1]
C
Ummm, I would take the stars out of the sky for you,
Am7
Stop the rain from falling, if you asked me to,
Dm7 Am7
I'd do anything for you, your wish is my command,
Dm7 G7sus4 G7
I could move a mountain when your hand is in my hand!
[Verse 2]
C
Ummm, Words can not express how much you mean to me,
Am7
There must be some other way to make you see,
Dm7 Am7
If it takes my heart and soul, you know I'd pay the price,
Dm7 G7sus4 G7
Everything that I possess, I'd gladly sacri - fice!
[Chorus]
C
Oh, you, to me, are everything,
Cmaj7
The sweetest song that I could sing,
Dm7 G7sus4 G7
Oh, baby, oh, baby,
C
To you, I guess, I'm just a clown,
Cmaj7
Who picks you up each time you're down,
Dm7 G7sus4 G7
Oh, baby, oh, baby!
[Verse 3]
Dm7 Em7
You give me just a taste of love to build my hopes upon,
Dm7 G7sus4 G7
You know, you got the power, girl, to keep me holding on,
C Cmaj7
So ...now you've got the best of me,
Dm7 G7sus4
Come on, and take the rest of me,
C Am7 Dm7 G7sus4 G7
Oh, baby! | / / / / |
[Verse 4]
C
Ummm, though you're close to me, we seem so far apart,
Am7
Maybe, given time, you'll have a change of heart,
Dm7 Am7
If it takes forever, girl, then I'm prepared to wait,
Dm7 G7sus4 G7
The day you give your love to me won't be a day too late!
[Chorus]
C
Oh, you, to me, are everything,
Cmaj7
The sweetest song that I could sing,
Dm7 G7sus4 G7
Oh, baby, oh, baby,
C
To you, I guess, I'm just a clown,
Cmaj7
Who picks you up each time you're down,

Oh, baby, oh, baby!
