    C      C/B      Am      G       F       F/E   Dm7       G 
Whenever I see your smiling face, I have to smile myself, because I

love you. 
    C             C/B     Am            G       F        F/E    Dm7 
And when you give me that pretty little pout it turns me inside out. 
        G          C       Am            F    G 
There's somethin' about ya baby, I don't know.

  C                C/B         Am        G       F             F/E 
I thought I was in love just a couple of times before with the girl  
      Dm7      G        C             Am               F 
next door, but that was long before I met ya.  Now I'm sure that I  
         G 
won't forget ya.   
      C        C/B   Am  G      F       F/E     Dm7     G 
And I thank my lucky stars that you are who you are and not just  
 C             Am              F        G 
another lovely lady set out to break my heart.

Whenever I see you shine that lovely thing my way
