Memories

 

    G - D - Em - Bm - C

 

            G                  D

1. I remember good times,

                                       Em                    Bm

    when you and I were doing fine, good times,

                                           C

    when all the world was yours and mine.

 

                             G                        D

    And we were dreaming sweet dreams,

                          Em              Bm

    it wasn’t very long ago, it seems

                                             C

    that dreams were all we had to know.

 

                  Em                          D

    But the good old days don’t last,

                   Em                              D

    and the dreams, they’re fading fast.

 

D7                                               G

    And all that’s left me are my memories,

                                              D

and the happiness that you gave to me.

D7                                              G

     I can’t forget the way things used to be,

                                           D

and how it still means so much to me.

                                        D7

So I’m holding onto my memories.

 

            G                  D

2. I remember two hearts

                                             Em                 Bm

    so young that they would never break apart,

                                          C

    we knew how much to give and take.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                      G               D

    And I was feeling first love,

                                    Em                Bm

    a love that was so beautiful, your love,

                                C

    heaven couldn’t give me more.

 

                  Em                          D

    But the good old days don’t last,

                   Em                              D

    and the dreams, they’re fading fast.

 

D7                                               G

    And all that’s left me are my memories,

                                              D

and the happiness that you gave to me.

D7                                              G

     I can’t forget the way things used to be,

                                           D

and how it still means so much to me.

                                        D7

So I’m holding onto my memories.

 

+ G - D - Em - Bm - C

 

                 G               D

3. And if I see you tonight,

                               Em                Bm

    I’ll try to look the other way, tonight,

                                        C

    there’s nothing left for us to say.
