[Intro]
D A G   D A G
D A G   D A D


[Verse 1]
D      A     G
Sweeter than honey
D        A        G
Brighter than the sun
D      A           G
Softer than a silk pillow
D         A    D
You're my only one


[Chorus]
D              A        G
My darlin', my dear, my angel
   D        A         G
My hope, my heart, my time
D            A    G
Please don't be a stranger
   D           A        D
My darlin', my dear, my life


[Verse 2]
D       A        G
A vision of pure beauty
    D           A         G
You hold me like heaven's arms
D               A        G
Whisper the way, through your front door
D          A         G
Keeping me safe from harm


[Chorus]
D              A        G
My darlin', my dear, my angel

Please don't be a stranger
   D           A        D
My darlin', my dear, my life


[Bridge]
A                 D
 Clouds adorn the mountains
A                     D
Birds caress the open sky
    A                      D
The east wind carries your name to me
A
Open up your loving eyes


[Verse 3]
    D       A        G
You make my heart go crazy
   D         A      G
My first and second line
         D   A      G
You're a yes, not a maybe
  D       A       D
A song, a perfect rhyme


[Chorus]
D              A        G
My darlin', my dear, my angel
   D        A         G
My hope, my heart, my time
D            A    G
Please don't be a stranger
   D           A        D
My darlin', my dear, my life
D              A        G
My darlin', my dear, my angel
   D        A         G
My hope, my heart, my time
D            A    G
Please don't be a stranger
   D           A        D
My darlin', my dear, my life
               A      D
My darlin', my dear, my life
