"Let me dry up your tears
with my tender kisses...
Let me hold you tightly
so you never feel the insecurities...
Let me share my heart with yours
so you will feel true love forever...
Don't fall to sadness...
Keep your thoughts  on
how much we love each other!
That will make you smile instead of cry..."

I WON'T LAST A DAY
WITHOUT YOU
The Carpenters
Paul Williams & Roger Nichols

 

C              Em             F                          G

Day after day I must face a world of strangers

               Am                      Dm                 G

Where I don't belong, I'm not that strong

C                Em                       F                       G

It's nice to know that there's someone I can turn to

                 Am                           Dm               G

Who will always care, you're always there
                            C                C7           F             G7

When there's no getting over that rainbow

                   C              C7                           F    G7

When my smallest of dreams won't come true

          C                C7                F                   Fm    

I can take all the madness the world has to give

          Dm   Am     G                 C

But I won't last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be 

without a friendly face, a lonely place

It's nice to know that you'll be there if I need you

And you'll always smile, it's all worthwhile
When there's no getting over that rainbow

When my smallest of dreams won't come true

I can take all the madness the world has to give

But I won't last a day without you
Am                           Dm       G

Touch me and I end up singing

Am                       Dm       G       E 

Troubles seem to up and disappear

        A             B                              E  

You touch me with the love you're bringing

C#m              D                          E

I can't really lose when you're near
If all my friends have forgotten half their promises

They're not unkind, just hard to find

One look at you and I know that I could learn to live

Without the rest, I found the best
When there's no getting over that rainbow

When my smallest of dreams won't come true

I can take all the madness the world has to give

But I won't last a day without you
When there's no getting over that rainbow

When my smallest of dreams won't come true

I can take all the madness the world has to give

But I won't last a day without you
