I will strike the chord   That's honey to your ears   All that's sweet is yours   I will hum a verse   Of melodies rehearsed   And all that's sweet is yours      So here is my offering   Just a downbeat and a string   But to you it's a beautiful thing   And here is what I bring   Only downbeats and a string   And to you   It's beautiful      I will strike the chord   That's honey to your ears   All that's sweet is yours   Loveliness you bring   I can't help but sing   All that's sweet is yours      When it seems I've broken down   When these chords are frail   You look with a smile and you say it's beautiful
