IT COULD ONLY BE YOU

(G) bbccb (D4) a (D) abaaf# (C) g

Every hat that you wear
Every thing that you do
Every role that you play
It could only be you

Every song that you sing
Every storm you sail through
Every poem you write
It could only be you

Every step of the way
Everywhere that you go
Every gift that you give
It could only be you

Every way that you turn
It's such a beautiful view
Every secret I learn
It could only be you

Every goal that you set
Every dream that comes true
Every plan that you make
It could only be you
