(G)If the (G)hands of (C)time

(D)were (G)hands that (G)I could (C)hold,

(D7)I’d (G)keep them (G)warm and (Em)in my (Em)hands they’d (Csus)not (C)turn (D)cold.

(G)Hand in (G)hand we’d (C)choose

(D)the (G)mo ments (G)that should (Em6)last;

the (Bm)love ly (Bm7)mo ments (Em7)that should have no (A7sus)fu ture (A7)and no (D)past.

The (Dm7)sum mer from the top of the (Dmaj7)swing,

the (Dm7)com fort in the sound of a (Am7)lull a by,

the (F)in no cence of leaves in the (Amaj7)spring,

but (Am7)most of all the (D)mo ment when (C)love first (Am7)touched me!

(G)All the (G)hap py (C)days

un (Cmaj7)til the hands of (G)time would (Em7)choose to (Am7)wave
