improved on his work .

Cmaj7 Em
it’s just a thought

but where did it come from?
Cmaj7 Em A7sus4 Dadd9

there by the telephone

Cmaj7 Em A7sus4 Dadd9

and her heart belongs to a man that she hadn’t seen
C Em A7sus4 Dadd9
since a magical night when the children were small

now she closes her eyes .
