 We've come a long, long way together, through the hard times and the good.
I have to, celebrate you, baby, I have to praise you like I should.

          Ab7             Bb7  C#7     Eb7         Ab7
You're so rare, you're so fine; I'm so glad you're mine.

            Ab7         Eb7                  F#                Ab7
You make me glad, I'm a woman, 'cos you're a feeling, thinking man.
                           Eb7                   F#                     Ab7

I was a-fraid to say; I love you, afraid to take and too eager to give.
                                 Eb7           F#                     Ab7

          Ab7                  Eb7               F#              Ab7
I have to praise you, when you hold me, when you work your way a-round.
                        Eb7  F#                          Ab7
Ain't a part of me left over, that your sweet love ain't found.

            Ab7          Eb7                  F#               Ab7
You make my moan turn to whisper, you make my whisper, turn to call.
                                      Eb7
You make me scream and scream that, I love you,
           F#                          Ab7
When you, (when you), make me rise and fall.

Chorus 4:

          Ab7              Bb7     C#7     Eb7        Ab7
You're so rare, and you're so fine; I'm so very, very glad you're mine.
          Ab7            Bb7  C#7        Eb7                 Ab7

You know I want the best for you baby, and what you want, I want for you.
                         Eb7      F#                         Ab7
And we can work together baby, to see it, to see it all come true.

Chorus 5:

               Ab7             Bb7
'Cos you're so rare and you're so fine,

 And Lord knows; I'm so very glad you're mine.
          Ab7                         Bb7
You're so rare, so rare and you're so very, very fine;
C#7                      Eb7       Ab7
 Oh, you cleared all the questions from my mind.

We've come a long, long way to-gether,

Through the hard times and the good.
                                            Eb7
I'm going to take this day to celebrate you baby;
F#                       Ab7
 'Cos I have to stop and praise you, like I should.

Chorus 6:

          Ab7                               Bb7
You're so rare, take yo' praise, and you're so fine,
C#7    Eb7                Ab7
 And I hope you know, I'm glad you're mine.
         Ab7                              Bb7
Take yo' praise; you're so rare, take yo' praise; you're so fine...
