G                    Am/C 
My heart was not the first to sing
   Bm/D                 Em
To take to the air on a splendid wing
G              Am/C
Love is a many-splendored thing
    Bm/D     B7/F#
Not old, not new

[Verse 2]
G                    Am/C 
My heart was not the first to break 
   Bm/D                  Em
To crumble to cinder for heaven’s sake
G              Am/C
Love is a many-splendored ache
    D        G
Not old, not new
