D            F#7     Em7      A7
If I should write a book for you,

D               F#7       B7   C7    B7
That brought me fame and for- tune, too,

G              Gdim A7      D    F#7 B7
That book would be like my heart and me

E7      Bm7-5     Cdim A7
Ded - i - ca - ted to  you.


D               F#7     Em7      A7
And if I should paint a picture, too,

D               F#7        B7   C7 B7
That shows the love - li - ness of you,

G           Gdim  A7      D    F#7 B7
My art would be, like my heart and me,

E7        A6       A7  D
Ded - i - ca - ted to you.


Bridge:

D6  G  Em     D   Am7   D9 Am7      D7         Edim         G
To you,   because your love is the beacon that lights up my way;

G5 Bb Gm7               F7
To you,   because with you I know 

   Bb           Gm7           A       A7/6
A lifetime could be just one heavenly day.


D         F#7            Em7      A7
If should find a find a twinkling star,

D            F#7      B7 C7  B7
One half so wonderous as you are,

G              Gdim  A7      D    F#7 B7
That star would be, like my heart and me,

E7        A6       A7  D
Ded - i - ca - ted to you.
