Don’t let your sweet love die like flowers in the Fall
      C                             F
Don’t take away the smile and leave the tears
   F                                          Bb
My heart believes in you, please say you love me too
      C                         F
Don’t leave me here to face the lonely years

Verse 2

  F                                 Bb
I drifted all alone, no one to call my own
    C                                F
and then you came like an angel from the sky
    F                                           Bb
You said we’d never part, don’t leave and break my heart

Be mine alone, don’t let your sweet love die

Verse 3

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

      F                                       Bb
Don’t let your sweet love die like flowers in the Fall
        D                              G
Without you life would seem like death to me
     G                                     C
I’ve grown so used to you, I can’t believe we’re through
      C                                 F
Don’t say goodbye, don’t let your sweet love die
