    F

A dry night's breeze

        B flat

was blowing through the trees.

        F

The moonlight flickered

        C

and danced on the leaves,

        B flat       C                            F     C

and I               couldn't love you more.

        F                                           

The river was babbling,

           B flat

camp fires were crackling.

F

kids skipping stones

            C

on the water in the canyon

        B flat       C                            F    

and I               couldn't love you more.

                     B flat                            C

You raised fine young boys into fine young men,

               F                                   B flat

They fly 'round the world and back again

                 F                             B flat                               C

and it's a happy day when they walk through our door.

                                F                           B flat

The dog starts barking,  and he does a little dance

              F

We hug one another

        C

and I give thanks

        B flat        C                               F    

for all               these souls that we adore.

         B flat                            C

And when our family met trouble,

                  F                      B flat

why your courage only doubled.

F                                 B flat

When our son was dying,

      F                         C

he never saw you crying

F                                              B flat

Somehow you nursed him back to heath

F                                        C

won with the bad hand you were dealt

           B flat       C                        F

Somehow you saw his ship to shore

             B flat                       C

It don't matter that you're pretty,

             F                                 B flat

or that you won't live in the city

F                                             B flat

We've got more important things than that

        F                                                  B flat

like matters of the heart and it's a matter of fact

        F      C                             F

that I        couldn't love you more.

               B flat                       C

I'd drive that far  and back again.

     F                               B flat

I'd work for fools and lesser men.

        F              B flat                         C

Just know I'd do these things for you.

        F                                        B flat

And when our days our are numbered,

F                  C

I will never wonder

B flat                    C                    F       C

why bad things happened to me.

F                                             

Luck goes 'round and when

   B flat

it all went down,

F                                      C

your love made me a lucky man in my town,

        B flat        C                            F

and I                couldn't love you more.

B flat     C        F        B flat       F       C       F
