Take the time to open up your heart --

That's the secret of romance.

Sac - ri - fice, if you care; buy her some moon - light to wear.

If there's one more star she wants, go all the way.

Em7     A7         D9   Am7       D7/9
In your arms to - night she'll reflect 

Am7       G9   G       G9      G      Gm7
That she owes you the sweet - est of debts.

   Em7  A7      Bm    G   Bm  Em7    A7  Gm7  Gdim  D-D9-D-D9  D
If she wants to pay, find one hun - dred ways.
