Recorded by Dean Martin, 1964*


      D            A           G      Gm    D   A7
(The door is still open to my heart)

D          D7         G6             Gm7
I must confess that I cry from loneliness

         D            A            D    Cdim  A7  A7+5      
And the door is still open to my heart


D          D7       G6             Gm7
You are to me like honey is to the bee

          D            A           D   G   D   D7
And the door is still open to my heart


Bridge:

G         Gm7                 D             G          D   D7
I'm not ashamed to cry; it's better then to hold it inside

      E        E+7     E7  E6   A          A9  A7    A7+5
And I won't be   satisfied   until you're here by my side
 

D                  D7    G6         Gm7
You're as close to me as two is to three

         D            A           D   G   D   D7
And the door is still open to my heart



(Instrumental Interlude: First Line of Bridge)


      E        E+7     E7  E6   A          A9  A7    A7+5
And I won't be   satisfied   until you're here by my side


D                  D7    G6         Gm7
You're as close to me as two is to three

         D            A           D   G   D   A7
And the door is still open to my heart

         D            A           D   G   D - A7 - D
And the door is still open to my heart
