C
I could promise you things like big diamond rings,
                                              Dm
but you don't find roses growing on stalks of clover..
                        G7
so, you better think it over.
         C
Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true
                                                 Dm
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter..
                  G7
but what would it matter?

CHORUS:
    Dm                    G7              Gm
So, smile for a while and let's be jolly, love shouldn't

be so melancholy..
Dm                                           F    G7
come along and share the good times while we can..an..

C
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon..
 
but if that's what it takes to hold you,
                 Dm
I'd just as soon let you go.
                        G7
But there's one thing I want you to know.
           C
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep,
                                           Dm
and there won't always be someone there to pull you out..
                      G7
and you know what I'm talking about..
