[D] Miss Marion, you're late.
I said 15 minutes.
Oh, I don't mean that kind of late.
I meant, uh
Well, I'd say about 26 years late.
It took you all this time to get to the footbridge with the fella.
If you want to know the truth, it was almost longer.
Oh?
Halfway here, I nearly turned back.
I suppose I'm not the first person to discover that
a girl doesn't think too clearly when under the spell of your salesmanship.
Oh, now, Miss Marion, you surely don't think I've been trying to sell you anything.
Oh, no.
You've given me something.
That's why I had to come.
I don't recall giving you anything.
Oh, yes.
Something beautiful.
That's why I came.
[G] And I'm so glad.
[E] Oh, please don't be afraid that I expect too [D] much more.
One [Em] can't expect a traveling [A] salesman to stay put.
I know there have been many points of call, and there'll be [D] many more.
[Gbm] [D] Still, [A] I can be [Em] grateful for what you've left behind.
For me.
[A] Marion.

[G] [A] Still, there [D] was [Bm] you
[A] [D] There were birds in [Ebm] the sky
[Em] But I never saw [E] them winging
No, I [A] never saw
Still, [D] there was you
[D] And there [G] was music
[F] And there were words
[Db] [D]
[B] They tell me
[Em] In sweet, [A] fragrant melody
[E] [G] [A]
No, [D] [Ebm]
[Em] but I never heard [Gm]
singing

[G] [E] Still, [A] there [D] was you
[G] [Bbm] [F] [B]

To you Marion.
There are a lot of things that you don't know about me.
