1. Come and talk of all the things we did to-day,
   C                            G
   Here, and laugh about our funny little ways.
   C      C/B Am7        G        G7
   While we have a few minutes to breathe,
   C    C/B       Am7           G
   And I know that it's time you must leave.

R: But darling, be home soon;
   G
   I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute, if you dawdled.
   C
   My darling, be home soon;
   G
   It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled.
   C        C/B     Am     D7     G         G7
   For the great re-lief of having you to talk to, (talk to).

2. And now, a quarter of my life is almost passed,
   C                                G
   I think I've come to see myself at last.
   C   C/B      Am             G
   And I see that the time spent con-fused,
   C    C/B    Am            G
   Was the time that I spent without you.
   C    C/B Am   Am/G D7
   And I feel my -self in   bloom.

R: But darling...

3. Go, and beat your crazy head against the sky,
   C                               G
   Try and see beyond the houses, and your eyes.
   C C/B Am    Am/G D7
   It's o-k to  shoot the  moon.

R: But darling...
