C7 F
(Still) though you broke my heart, (still) though we’re far apart,
C G
(I love you still).
C C7 F
(Still) after all this time, (still) you're still on my mind,
C G7 F - C
I love you still.
C - C7 - F
1. I lost count
of the hours and I've lost track of the days,
C
in
fact, I've lost just about everything since you went away,
G
everything
that is except the memories you left me,
C - C7
and that's
one thing no one can mar.
- F
I don't know who you're with, I don't
even know where you’re gone,
C
my
only hope is that someday you might hear this song
G
and
you'll know I wrote it especially for you,
F C
and I
love you wherever you are.
C C7 F
(Still) after all this time, (still) you're still on my mind,
C G7 F - C
I love you still.

2. This flame in my heart is like a torch
of fire
C
for
everyday it burns hotter and everyday it burns brighter
G
and I
haven't been able to put out one little flicker,
not
even with all of these tears.
C C7
My friends say I'm crazy and
maybe I am,
F
but
I'll carry this torch just as long as I can,
C G7
for
someday you just might decide to come home,
F C
and I
want you to know I'm still here.
C C7 F
(Still) though you broke my heart, (still) though we’re far apart,
C G7 F - C
I love you still.
