Ab       Cm       Bb

                         Eb    Ab         Cm                  
Every heart would have a new song to sing,
                     Bb                  
and we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.

take my word we would treasure each day that occurred.

like the man in the moon has, where the moon beams
