Every inch of her blossoming beauty.

when I opened my eyes,

Bb
I was a victim of the Great Compromise.
We used to go out on Saturday evenings,
Eb
Bb
to the drive -in on Route 41.
F
And it was there that I first suspected
Eb

She was doin' what she'd already done
She said, Danny,

through the moonlight
Eb

There are some folks who

She won't let me live with her,
