Lyrics

How does a (G)mo ment last for (Am)ev er?

(F)How can a sto ry nev er (C)die?

It is (Dm7)love

we must hold (C)on to; nev er (Am7)eas y, but we (Dm7)try.

(C)Some times our (G)hap pi ness is (Am)cap tured;

(F)some how, a time and place stand (C)still.

(Dm7)Love lives on in (Em7)side our hearts

and (Bm)al

ways

(E)will.

(Am)Min utes turn to (Dm7)hours;

(Dm7)days to years, (E)then (Am)gone.

But (C)when all (G)else has been for (C)got ten,

(Dm7)still our (G7)song lives (C)on.

(D)May be some (A)mo ments weren’t so (Bm)per fect;

(G)may be some mem ’ries not so (D)sweet.

But we (Em7)have to know some (D)bad times,

or our (Bm7)lives are (E)in com (Em)plete.

(D)Then, when the (A)shad ows o ver (D)take us,

it (G)just when we feel all hope is (Dsus)gone,

we’ll (Em7)hear our song and (F#m7)know once (Bm7)more, our (C#m7)love

lives

(F#)on.

(Bm)Ah,

(G)oh,

(Em7)oh.

(C#m7)makes us

(F#)whole.

(Bm)Min utes turn to (Em7)hours;

(Em7)days to years, (F#7)then (Bm)gone.

But (D)when all (A)else has been for (D)got ten,

(Em7)still our (A7)song lives (Bm)on.

(D)How does a (A)mo ment last for (D)ev er

(Em7)when our (A7)song lives

(D)on?
