And I, nev-er thought I feel_ this way_

Dm7(no5th)

and as far as I'm concerned_

I'm glad I got the chance to say_

that I do be-lieve I love you. And

if I should ev-er go_ a-way_

Dm7(no 5th)

well, then close your eyes_ and try_

to feel the way_ we do_ to-day,_

and then if you can_ re-mem-ber_

Keep smil-ing, keep shin-ing,

know-ing you_ can al-ways count on

me_ for sure_ that's what friends_ are for.

For good-times and bad_ times

I'll be on_ you side for-ev-er

and so, by the way_ I thank you. And

then for the times when we're_ a-part___

Dm7(no 5th)

well, then close your eyes_ and know__

these words are com-ing from_ my heart,__

and then if you can_ re-mem-ber_

Keep smil-ing, keep shin-ing,
