Words & Music by Al Stillman & Robert Allen
Recorded by Johnny Mathis, 1957 (#5)


(D6) E7            Em7     A9
It's not for me to say 

A7-9  DM7 D6   DM7    D6
You  love me,

(D6) E7            Em7   A9
It's not for me to say 

       A9      D    B7
You'll always care.

D7-9    Em            Em7
Oh, but here, for the moment,

Em6    F#7      Bm
I  can hold you fast

   F#7    Bm7   F#    Gdim(II)   G#m7
And press your lips to  mine

      C#7       F#         Em7     A7
And dream that love will last.


   Em           Em7    A9
As far as I can see, 

A7-9    DM7   D6
This is Hea - ven,

     Am7              D7
And speaking just for me,

     D7+5       G      G+7    G6     G
It's ours to share.

   G6       G+7     Gm       Gm7-5(IV) 
Perhaps the glow of love will grow

      D           F#m7-5(II)   B7
With every passing   day,

           E7          E+
Or we may never meet again,

    A9                 A+    D6    DM7    D6    Em7     A7
But then, it's not for me to say.

(Last time)


 (Bm7-5)     Em          C 
Or  we  may never meet again,

     A9       A7/9     A+    D6    DM7     D6     DM7
But then, it's not for me to say.
