Biography:
Frank Henry Loesser (June 29, 1910, New York City – July 26, 1969, New York City) was an American composer and lyricist. He died of lung cancer at age 59.
During World War II, he wrote 1942's "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition". Formerly a successful lyricist in collaboration with other composers, this was the first song for which Loesser composed the melody in addition to the lyric.

C Am F G
Heart and soul, I fell in love with you,
C Am F G
Heart and soul, the way a fool would do,
C Am F
Madly...
G C Am
Because you held me tight,
F G
And stole a kiss in the night...
C Am F G
Heart and soul, I begged to be adored,
C Am F G
Lost control, and tumbled overboard,
C Am F
Gladly...
G C Am
That magic night we kissed,
F G
There in the moon mist.
F C
Oh! but your lips were thrilling, much too thrilling,
F G
Never before were mine so strangely willing.
C Am F G
But now I see, what one embrace can do,
C Am F G
Look at me, it's got me loving you,
C Am F
Madly...
G C Am
That little kiss you stole,
F G C
Held all my heart and soul.
