C    Cmaj9                       C
Into each life a little sunlight wants to shine

Let me tell you, a fortune like that once was mine

And it's not with hesitation that I say

She was a special girl
              F        G
She meant the world to me
                    Am G F
And I gave her everything

Dreams they come and go (dreams they come and go)
But thoughts of her are like a floor show

Oo, a special girl
Oo, a special girl
She was a special girl

She was a special girl
She meant the world to me
I gave her everything
