I just can't help believin',

When she smiles up soft and gentle,

With a trace of misty morning,

And a promise of tomorrow in her eyes.

I just can't help believin',

And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs,

This time the girl is gonna stay,

This time the girl is gonna stay,

For more that just a day.

Oh I just can't help believin',

When she slips her hand in my hand, 
Bb6 
And it feels so small and helpless, 
C F 
As my fingers fold around it like a glove.

I just can't help believing, 
Fmaj7 
When she's whispering her magic,

And her tears are shining honey sweet with love,

for more than just a day
