 SIMPLE INTRO:
 COMPLETE INTRO:
 
  -(--A/E)-
  STANZA 1:
 There I was  an empty  piece of a shell,
 Just mindin'  my own world;
 Without even knowin'  what love  and life were all  about.
 STANZA 2:
 (E/F-E)-[Am7]
 Then you came,
 You brought  me out of the shell;
 You gave  the world to me
 And before I knew,
 There I was  so in love  with  you.
You  gave me a reason  for  my being
 And  I love what  I'm feelin'
You  gave me a meaning  to my life,
 Yes,  I've gone beyond  existing
 And  it all began  when I met you.
  STANZA 3:
 I love  the touch of your hair
 And when  I look in your eyes
 I just know,  I know I'm on  to something  good
 STANZA 4:
 (E/F-E)-[Am7] [Dm] [Am7]
 And I'm sure my love for you will endure
 Your love  will light up my world;
 And take all my cares away  with the aching part  of  me.
 REFRAIN TO CODA:
You  gave me a reason  for  my being
 And  I love what  I'm feelin'
You  gave me a meaning  to my life,
 Yes,  I've gone beyond  existing
 And  it all began  when I met you.
  CODA:
 You  taught  me how to love,
 You showed  me how tomorrow  and
today  my life is diff'rent  from the yesterday;
 And you,  you taught  me to love
 And darling I will always  cherish you
Today, tomorrow  and forever.
 
 STANZA 5:
 (E/F-E)-[Am7] [Dm] [Am7]
 And I'm sure when evening comes around
 I know  we'll be making love  like never before;
 My love,  who could ask  for  more?
  REFRAIN:
You  gave me a reason  for  my being
 And  I love what  I'm feelin'
You  gave me a meaning  to my life,
 Yes,  I've gone beyond  existing
 And  it all began  when I met you.
 When I met you----.
 REFRAIN TO ENDING:
You  gave me a reason  for  my being
 And  I love what  I'm feelin'
You  gave me a meaning  to my life,
 Yes,  I've gone beyond  existing
  --- -(A/G-[A/F#]-A/E)-[D9] [E]
 And it all began when I met you----.
 When  I met you.
