1.      Another day is ended,        and I still can’t sleep,

          Bb                                     F                 G

    remembering my yesterdays, I begin to weep.

C                                      - F

    If I could have it over,        live my life again,

        Em                       Dm       G    - G7

    I wouldn’t change a single day.

 

                              C 

I wish that I could turn back the clock,

                                 F

bring the wheels of time to a stop,

   C                                                             F

back to the days when life was so much better.

2.      Lying here in silence,        picture in my hand,

             Bb                                  F                          G

    of a boy I still resemble, but I no longer understand.

C                                                    - F

    And as the tears run freely, oh,         how I realize

             Em                          Dm     G       - G7

    they were the best years of my life.

 

                              C 

I wish that I could turn back the clock,

                                 F

bring the wheels of time to a stop,

   C                                                             F

back to the days when life was so much better.

+  You might say it’s just a case of giving up, no,

                Dm              C      F              Dm      G        - G7

    but without these memories, where is the love ?

                          C

    Where is the love ?

      F

    don’t let the memories slip away !

C

F

    don’t let the memories slip away ….
