C G Dm7 C C/B Am7
If I give my heart to you,

Will you handle it with care?
Dm6 F G Dm7 G G+5 C Edim G7
Will you always treat me tenderly and in every way be fair?
G Dm7 C C/B Am7
If I give my heart to you,
Am7/G Dm Dm+7 Dm7
Will you give me all your love?
Dm6 F G Dm7
Will you swear that you'll be true to me

By the light that shines above?
Bridge:

And will you sigh with me when I'm sad?

Think it over and be sure;

Then I'll give my heart to you.
