1. I see you standing by the
light in the window of my bedroom,
Em F
that
old moon has never shined as bright

as
it's shining now on you.

I see a new star in the
heavens for us tonight,
Am G
I've been waitin'
for you most of my life.
C F
Now that we're together and
the way we belong,
C G
I can't help but wonder why, why
did it take so long ?

Sometimes it takes much time to find the right one, to say :

be
with you all the time,

and
be the only light in your eyes that ever shines.
