   D7M         E7      C#7                F#m 
My arms were around him,   my eyes were aglow 
D9             E7/9-        C#m5-/7     F#7     
The moment was tender, the music was low 
D9    Bm5-/7         E7/13   Fdim  A7M   C#7          F#7   
But while we were dancing          I think you should know 
       D9        Bm5-/7    Fdim E7/13 
I was telling him     about you 
   D7M          E7      C#7              F#m 
He kept coming closer,   the magic was there 
D9               E7/9-        C#m7/(5b)        F#7     
   He wore an expression that made people stare 
D9    Bm5-/7     E7/13  Fdim  A7M    C#7 F#7   
It looked so romantic, but Darling, I swear 
      D9          Bm5-/7  Fdim E7 
I was telling him       about you 

Bridge 
Cdim Dm7        G       C7M       Am7 
When you passed by, and caught my eye 
Dm7       Fdim E7/9- C7M 
You didn't say  a  word 
Em7         B7      Esus4        B5+ 
You turned about and walked right out 
        D9               Bm5-/7      E7   D9  E7 
And the silence was the loudest I've ever heard 
     D7M          E7        C#7           F#m 
Come back to me, Darling, I must make you see 
      D9            E7/9-  C#m5-/7                  F#7     
That things aren't always       what they seem to be 
D9             Bm5-/7 Fdim  A7M   C#7 F#7   
The boy in my arms meant nothing to me  
      D9     Bm5-/7  E7   A 
I was telling him about you
