Verse 1:
I got your picture, of me and you.
You wrote "I love you". I wrote "me too".
A C D
I sit and stare at it there's nothing I can do.
Oh it's in colour. Your hair is brown.
Your eyes are hazel. And soft as clouds.
A C D
I often kiss you when there's no-one else around.

You got me turning up, I'm turning down, I'm turning in, I'm turning 'round,
