"Let me dry up your tears
with my tender kisses...
Let me hold you tightly
so you never feel the insecurities...
Let me share my heart with yours
so you will feel true love forever...
Don't fall to sadness...
Keep your thoughts  on
how much we love each other!
That will make you smile instead of cry..."

 

 

I WON'T LAST A DAY
WITHOUT YOU
The Carpenters

C              Em             F                          G
Day after day I must face a world of strangers
               Am                      Dm                 G
Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong
C                Em                       F                       G
It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to
                 Am                           Dm               G
Who will always care, you're always there
                            C                C7           F             G7
When there's no getting over that rainbow
                   C              C7                           F    G7
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
          C                C7                F                   Fm    
I can take all the madness the world has to give
          Dm   Am     G                 C
But I won't last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be 
without a friendly face, a lonely place
It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you
And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
Am                           Dm       G
Touch me and I end up singing
Am                       Dm       G       E 
Troubles seem to up and disappear
        A             B                              E  
You touch me with the love you're bringing
C#m              D                          E
I can't really lose when you're near
If all my friends have forgotten half their promises
They're not unkind, just hard to find
One look at you and I know that I could learn to live
Without the rest, I found the best
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
When there's no getting over that rainbow
When my smallest of dreams won't come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I won't last a day without you
