INTRO:(Single Arpeggiated Chords)
If you ever leave me, I ll be sad and blue,
Don t you ever leave me, I m so in love with you.
VERSE 1:
The birds in the sky would be sad a lonely,
If they knew that I d lost my one and only.
They d be sad, if you re bad to me.
VERSE 2:
The leaves on the trees would be softly sighin ,
If they heard from the breeze that you left me cryin .
They d be sad; don t be bad to me.
CHORUS:
But I know you won t leave me cos you told me so,
And I ve no intention of letting you go.
Just as long as you let me know, you won t be bad to me.
VERSE 3:
So the birds in the sky won t be sad and lonely,
Cos they know I got my one and only.
They ll be glad, you re not bad to me.
CODA:
They ll be glad, you re not bad to me.
- To me, - To me. (Fade)
[End]
