lyrics from reprint of 1966 sheet music

G
Though you've played at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost

C
I will melt 

            G
Your heart again

Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled?

     C                          G
It's time you felt like you did then



G               F               G             F
There's just no percentage in remembering the past

     G                   F             Em
It's time you learned to live again at last

G         Am7       G     Am7   G      Am7     G   Am7
Come with me, leave yesterday behind

    G      Am7   G       Am7       G
And take a giant step outside your mind


    G
You stare at me in disbelief
And say for you there's no relief

C
But I swear

               G
I'll prove you wrong



Don't stay here in your lonely room
Just looking back in silent gloom

C
That's not where

      G
You belong



G                  F                  G
Come with me, I'll take you where the taste of life is green

    G               F             Em
And ev'ry day holds wonders to be seen

G         Am7       G     Am7   G      Am7     G   Am7
Come with me, leave yesterday behind

    G      Am7   G       Am7       G
And take a giant step outside your mind
