Lyrics

Pho to graphs and (C)mem o ries,

Christ mas cards you (C)sent to me; and of (Bm)all that I have that are (Em)these

to re (Am7)mem ber you.

Mem o ries that (C)come at night

take me to an (C)oth er time;

(Am7)back to a (Bm)hap pi er (Em)day,

That’s when I (Am7)called you mine.

But (Gmaj7)we sure had a good time when we (Gmaj7)start ed way back when.

(Gmaj7)Morn ing walks and bed room talks, oh, (Bm)how I loved you then.

Sum mer skies and (C)lull a bies,

nights we could n’t (C)say good bye; and of (Bm)all of the things that we (Em)knew,

not a (Am7)dream sur vived.

Pho to graphs and (C)mem o ries,

all the love you (C)gave to me;

(Am7)some how it (Bm)just can’t be (Em)true.

That’s all I’ve (Am7)left of you.

But (Gmaj7)we sure had a good time when we (Gmaj7)start ed way back when.

(Gmaj7)Morn ing walks and bed room talks, oh, (Bm)how I loved you then.
