When I see my baby
Am             
What do I see

Poetry
C         D7
Poetry in motion

G         Em
Poetry in motion
C *           D7
Walkin' by my side
    G          Em
Her lovely locomotion
C *                D7
Keeps my eyes open wide

G         Em
Poetry in motion
C              D7
See her gentle sway
  G               Em
A wave out on the ocean
C           D7        G
Could never move that way

  B7         Em
I love every movement
            B7              Em
And there's nothing I would change
    B7             Em
She doesn't need improvement
      A7               D7
She's much too nice to rearrange

G         Em
Poetry in motion
C                D7
Dancing close to me
  G           Em
A flower of devotion
C         D7       G
A swaying gracefully

G
Whoa
Em                      Am
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
D7                      G
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Em                      Am
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
D7
Whooooooooa

G         Em
Poetry in motion
C              D7
See her gentle sway
  G               Em
A wave out on the ocean
C           D7        G
Could never move that way

G         Em
Poetry in motion
C          D7
All that I adore
   G                Em
No number-nine love potion
C             D7       G
Could make me love her more

G
Whoa
Em                      Am
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
D7                      G
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Em                      Am
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
D7
Whooooooooa
