D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4

[Verse 1]
          
  D                                  Dmaj7 
I just can't help believin' when she smiles up soft and gentle,          
       Em                           A7                         D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
With a trace of misty morning and a promise of tomorrow in her eyes.          
      D                                    Dmaj7
And I just can't help believin' when she's lyin' close beside me,          
       D7                                 G     Gm
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs.

[Chorus]
          
D             G             D   G
This time the girl is gonna stay,          
Dmaj7         G6            A   Asus2  A
This time the girl is gonna stay          
                     D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
For more than just a day.

[Verse 2]
          
  D                                  Dmaj7
I just can't help believin' when she slips her hand in my hand,
       Em                                  A7                            D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4
And it feels so small and helpless that my fingers fold around it like a glove.
      D                                    Dmaj7
And I just can't help believin' when she's whisperin' her magic,
        D7                                 G     Gm
And her tears are shinin' honey sweet with love.

[Chorus]

D             G             D   G
This time the girl is gonna stay,
Dmaj7         G6            A   Asus2  A
This time the girl is gonna stay
                     D  Dsus4  D  Dsus4  D
For more than just a day.
