Words & Music by John D. Loudermilk
Recorded by The Casinos, 1967


 AM7          F#m          Bm7     E7-9     
Kiss me each morning for a million years

  AM7        F#m             Bm7   E7-9 
Hold me each evening by your side 

 AM7            F#m          Bm7     E7-9 
Tell me you'll love me for a million years 

      A           D         A           D
Then if it don't work out, if it don't work out

 A            D          Bm7-5      E7   
Then you can tell me goodbye


AM7          F#m         Bm7     E7-9     
Sweeten my coffee with a morning kiss 

AM7        F#m             Bm7   E7-9 
Soften my dreams with your sighs 

AM7             F#m          Bm7     E7-9 
Tell me you'll love me for a million years 

     A            D         A           D
Then if it don't work out, if it don't work out             

 A            D          Bm7-5   A     A7 
Then you can tell me goodbye


Bridge: 

D                   A 
If you must go, oh no, I won't grieve . . .

D                         B7  Bm7-5  E7   
If you wait a lifetime before  you leave.


 AM7         F#m        Bm7           E7-9     
Then if you must go, I won't tell you no;

AM7          F#m           Bm7    E7-9 
Just so that we can say we tried.

AM7             F#m          Bm7     E7-9 
Tell me you'll love me for a million years 

      A          D         A           D
Then if it don't work out, if it don't work out

 A            D          Bm7-5      A   
Then you can tell me goodbye.
