Em              B                   G            A
In view of the fact that there's a rumour going round
C                B               Em B
I feel that I'd better state my case
Em                B                G                A
I'd like to clear up the misunderstandings that surround
C             B              Em E
Our latest excursions into space

  C          F                A# D
Why, you may ask, do I still try
     G          A#                 F D
And penetrate beyond the endless sky
D
Up high

Chorus:
 G                     A
Let me look into your eyes Josie
 D                         G
Count the stars along the Milky Way
G                        Am      Cm
I won't leave you, not tonight Josie
            G               B
If you'll try to love me, try to love me
 Em          A
Show me you do
     C       D       G  B
The way that I love you

In spite of the difficulties met with at the start
The probe will be carried out as planned
The problem is now the big question of the human heart
And what kind of stress it can withstand

Where, you may ask, will all this end?
Well I can't say I really comprehend

Chorus:
Let me look into your eyes Josie
Count the stars along the Milky Way
I won't leave you, not tonight Josie
If you'll try to love me, try to love me
Show me you do
The way that I love you

When I look into your eyes Josie
The world of man is very far away
Stay with me and let me hear you say
That you'll try to love me, try to love me
Show me you do
The way that I love you
