C7   F            A7       D7
I am writing this song for you

       A#7      C            F   C7  
Let me see do I know what to say

        F            A7         D7
For the old words of love won't do

       A#7    C               F
Let me try to explain it this way


    A7                     D7
The meek shall inherit the earth

    G7                        C7
And if I should be one of the few

        F             A7           D7
All the wealth I will own won't be worth
 
    A#7        C            F   C7
The joy I have known loving you


       F           A7             D7
In the night I can reach for your hand

      A#7          C         F     C7 
And I know it will always be there

        F      A7       D7
How can I make you understand 

        A#7           C             F
What it means just to know that you care


        A7                          D7
I can’t think of what my life would be

   G7                           C7
If I'd lived it without knowing you

       F            A7       D7
Though I don't even know the key

     A#7          C             F
I am writing this love song for you
