1 -2   -3    3    1  2   3    -2
A cer-tain smile  A cer-tain face
 1   -2  4 -3* -3* -3*  -3*  -3*
Can lead an un-sus-pect-ing heart 
-3-3* 4  3   -3
on a mer-ry chase
-3 -3   -3    -3
A fleet-ing glance
-3  -4  4*  4*-5  -3  -2   -3
Can say so man-y love-ly things

Sud-den-ly you know why my heart sings

You love a-while  And when love goes
 1  -2  4  -3*  -3*  -3* -3* -3*
You try to hide the tears in-side 
 -3 -3*  4    3   -3
with a cheer-ful pose
-3 -3*  4   4*  -5  -5
But in the hush of night
-5 -5 -5* -5* -5 -6  -5   -5  -3*  -3*
Ex-act-ly like a bit-ter-sweet re-frain
 -3    3    4   -3   -2
Comes that cer-tain smile 
-1  -5   -3*    3   2  -2
to haunt your heart a-gain
