Words & Music by Howard Dietz & Arthur Schwartz

Intro verse:

G  G9  C      Am7    Am       Dm7 G7      
In a world of glit - ter and glow,   

G  G9 C9   Am7 Em   Emsus4 Em  Dm7 G7
In a world of  tin - sel  and show,

    C                C7            F      Bb9
The unreal from the real thing is hard to know;

G G9  C      Am7 Am   Dm7 G7     
I discovered somebody who   

 G    G9  C9  Am7 Em   Emsus4  Em  B7 
Could be tru - ly worth - y   and true,

Am7 A9 Em    Am7   A9    B7   Cdim Em Edim  G
Yes I  met my i - deal thing, when I   met you.


Refrain:

G CM7      FM7    CM7     Dm7   C         Edim   Dm7   G7
I see your face before me,    crowding my ev'ry dream,

Dm            Dm+7   Dm7    G7  F         G7     C     G
There is your face before me -- you are my only theme.

C           CM7    C7       C7/G Am7    C       F       Fm7
It doesn't matter where you are, I can see how fair you are

Em         Em+7      Em7      Em6  F    Fdim
I close my eyes and there you are, al - ways



 G CM7       FM7       CM7    Dm7      C       Edim    Dm7   G7
If you could share the magic, yes, if you could see me too

Dm             Dm+7    Dm7    G7     F     G7         C     C7
There would be nothing tragic    in all my dreams of you

F             E7-9        G7           C6   C    Fm
Would that my love could haunt you so, knowing I want you so.

F        F/E       Am7        G7     C
I can't erase your beautiful face before me.
