G                                D7
Pardon me but I think you're the one love
                                 G
That I've been waiting on for so long
                               D7
Pardon me could we walk in the moonlight
                                    G
Just to sit there and find right or wrong

Well I've met a lot of boys in my lifetime

But I've never had a romance with none
                                  D7
I'm just waiting for someone real special
       A7                        D7
Pardon me but I think you're the one

Pardon me but some nice things have happened

From the moment you walked in the door
                                           D7
It just seems that my dreams have all come true dear
         A7                     D7
And I've never had this feeling before

I believe I could search this world over
                                G
And never find one sweeter than you
                                  D7
I just hope that you're ready and willing
                                 G
Just to make my every dream come true
