Recorded by Kay Starr, 1954 (#4)


A7      D          F#7            Bm    Bm7/E
If the sun should tumble from the sky,

       Em7         G           A7
If the sea should suddenly run dry

Em7 A7  D   D7  F#7     G  Gdim  G9 G  D     Bm7 G  D    A7
If you love me, really love me, let it happen -- I won't care.


A7    D       F#7               Bm    Bm7/E
If a dream I fear should fall apart,

       Em7      G               A7
I can still be smiling with my heart,

Em7 A7  D   D7  F#7     G  Gdim  G9 G  D     Bm7  G       A7       D
If you love me, really love me, let it happen -- Darling, I won't care


Bridge:

A7       Dm       A7      Dm
Shall I catch a shooting star? 

A7       Dm       Gdim     Dm           Fdim          A7
Shall I bring it where you are? If you only say you care,

        Gm7            Dm            A7           Dm 
I can make a mountain fall, I'll do anything at all 

   Fdim             A7
As long as you are there.


A7       D       F#7               Bm    Bm7/E
When at last my life on earth is through, 

        Em7    G           A7
I will share eternity with you

Em7 A7  D   D7  F#7     G  Gdim  G9 G  D     Bm7  G  D     A7       D
If you love me, really love me, let it happen --  I won't care.

Em7 A7  D   D7  F#7     G  Gdim
If you love me, really love me, 

            D        Bm7        G  A7     D
Then what - ev - er hap - pens, I won't care.
