Dar - ling, par - don my con - fu - sion,
Fdim A F#m D9 E7
But are you an op - ti - cal il - lu - sion?
Fdim Am7 C#m7/5- D9 Fdim Bm7/5- E7/6 A
And if not, then what on earth are you do - ing to me?
A F#m D9 E7
If my speech is wil - ly nil - ly,
F7 C Am7 Dm7 G7
It's be - cause I can - not guild the lil - ly;
Fdim C Gdim F
I should love to sing your prai - ses,
G C Am Bm7/5- E7
But phra - ses and words are sil - ly.

The dream I've been seeking has, prac-tic'-ly speak-ing,

Come true.

What is there to say? And how will I pull through?

I knew in a moment contentment and home meant just you.

You're made to mar - vel at, and words to that ef - fect.

I'd e - ven face wed - lock with you.
