Lyrics

Kiss to day good (C)bye,

the sweet ness and the (Dm7)sor row.

We did what we (C)had (G)to (D9)do,

and I can’t re (Fm)gret what I did for love, what I did for (G)love.

(CN.C.)Look my eyes are (C)dry,

the gift was ours to (Dm)bor row.

It’s as if we (C)al (G)ways (D9)knew,

but I won’t for (Fm)get what I did for love, what I did for (G)love.

(Am)Gone,

love is nev er (Am)gone,

as we trav el (Em)on,

love’s what we’ll re (D)mem ber.

(CN.C.)Kiss to day good (C)bye,

and point me t’ward to (Dm7)mor row.

Wish me luck, the (C)same (G)to (Am)you.

Won’t for (F)get, can’t re (C)gret, what I (Dm7)did (G7)for (C)love.

What I did for (C)love.

What I did for (C)love.
