1. I hardly ever thank the stars above

              C                                              D

    for sending me your very precious love.

                   G                                             Em

    You'll never hear me say a prayer of thanks to someone way up there,

                C                                   D

    who gave me such a lucky break.

                    C           - D                                         G

    Oh, no, darling,                only with every breath I take.

    (Dit-dit  do-do-bop-bop. Dit-dit  do-do-bop-bop)

            G                                        Em

2. And every time we have to be apart,

       C                                         D

    I hardly ever find you in my heart.

                G                                              Em

    And when it comes to thinking of the thought of losing all your love,

       C                                                  D

    I never worry how my heart would ache.

                    C      - D                                        G

Oh, no, darling,              only with every breath I take,

                                              Em

only with every little step I make.

                                                       C

only with every little beat of my heart,

                                                    D

and every single minute I'm awake.
