Chorus 2:

      It's the lovin' things you say
      That give me comfort every day

      To hear the lovin' things, baby, that you say

       B5               C#5
      Since that day our love began
            C#5         B5
      I've become a new and happy man
      Eb5         A5
      I can hold my head up high
           Ab5              Bb5
      When you are near I touch the sky

      [w/bass, organ, sand blocks]:

       Ab5       Eb5     C#5    Eb5
      With your soft and sweet caress

      You brought me such tenderness

      [band re-enters]:

Verse 2:

      With your soft and sweet caress
      You brought me such tenderness
      With a smile from your young face
      You gave me back my inspiration

Chorus 3:

      It's the lovin' things we share

      Our friends call us a perfect pair
      For the lovin' things, baby, that we share
