C                                  C7             F
Don't let your sweet love die like flowers in the fall
G7                                       C
Don't take away the smiles and leave the tears
C7                                                 F
My heart believes in you please say you'll love me true

Don't leave me here to face the lonely years

Verse 2

C7                                    F
I drifted all alone no one to call my own
G7                                       C
And then you came like an angel from the sky
C7                                                F
You said we'd never part don't leave and break my heart
G7                                      C
Be mine alone don't let your sweet love die

Verse 3

C7                                                  F
When flowers fade they say they'll bloom again some day
G7                                      C
Will you love me when the rosebuds open wide
C7                           F
Or is your kiss to be only a memory
G7                                      C
I need you so don't let your sweet love die

Verse 4

C7                                                F
Don't let your sweet love die like flowers in the fall
G7                                  C
Without life would be like death to me
C7                                              F
I've grown so used to you I can't believe we're through
G7                                      C
Be mine alone don't let your sweet love die
