Am G F
And on a knee he said "won't you marry me"

G Am
And they cried, and they cried, and they cried
C G F
Tears of joy as the day had arrived
G Am
Now I watch as they walk down the aisle
C G F
In a dress all the girls would desire
Am G F
But I don't, I just care for her smile

It's you I want

Lord I try, but I can't deny
Am G C
It's you I want

Then hе stepped in and swept her right off of her feet

And I cried, and I cried, and I cried

Don't cry, Don't cry, Don't cry

You found the love of your life

I just thought that i'd found mine

But instead I found my life

It's you I want

It's you I love
