           C             C/B         Am7      C7
There's sweetness in the call of the woodland dove

        F                           Dm7-5
As his love song echoes through the trees,

        G                G7             Fdim      Am7    Am7/G
There's sweetness in the rose, with its symbol of love

  E              B7       Em   Am    Em
Floating on the summer breeze.

     Gdim          A7+5          Dm    Am7  Dm7  Dm+7           
But nothing can compare to the sweet - ness of

     D9          Am7 D7  G    Cdim   G
The one and only one  I love.


 G    Edim  G7         Dm7-5
Sweet and  love - ly,

G                  Edim         G7    Dm7-5
Sweet - er than the ro - ses in May;

 C    C7    F         Bbm9
Sweet and love - ly --

CM7    Am         Dm7     G7  C
Heaven must have sent her my way.


G    Edim      G7       Dm7-5
Skies     a -  bove  me

G                Edim         G7    Dm7-5
Nev - er were as blue as her eyes;

C    C7      F         Bbm9
And    she loves me --

CM7       Am      Dm7        G7     C
Who would want a sweet - er sur - prise?

Bridge: 

Bb9             Fdim            C
When she nestles in my arms so tenderly,

Bb9                   Fdim            C
There's a thrill that words cannot express.

G#7                            Bb         Gdim     D7
In my heart a song of love is taunting me, melody haunting me.


G    Edim  G7         Dm7-5
Sweet and  love - ly,

G                  Edim          G7    Dm7-5
Sweet - er than the ro - ses in May;

 C    C7    F         Bbm9
Sweet and love - ly --

CM7    Am         Dm7     G7  C
Heaven must have sent her my way.
