Lyrics

We walked on the (Eb6/9)beach beside that (Fsus2)old hotel.

(Dm7)They're tearin' it (Eb6/9)down now, but it's (Fsus2)just as well.

(Dm7)I haven't shown you (Eb6/9)ev'rything a (Fsus2)man can do,

(Dm7)so stay with me, (Eb6/9)baby;

I've got (Fsus2)plans for you.

This is the time to remember,

'cause it will not last forever.

These are the days to hold on to,

'cause we won't although we'll want to.

This is the time, but time is gonna (G7sus)change.

You've given me the (Gbaug)best of you,

but now I need the (Bb)rest (F)of you.

(Dm7)We walked on the (Eb6/9)beach beside that (Fsus2)old hotel.

(Dm7)They're tearin' it (Eb6/9)down now, but it's (Fsus2)just as well.

(Dm7)I haven't shown you (Eb6/9)ev'rything a (Fsus2)man can do,

(Dm7)so stay with me, (Eb6/9)baby;

I've got (Fsus2)plans for you.

This is the time to remember,

'cause it will not last forever.

These are the days to hold on to,

'cause we won't although we'll want to.

This is the time, but time is gonna (G7sus)change.

I know we've got to (Gbaug)move somehow,

but I don't want to (Bb)lose (F)you now.

(Dm)Sometimes it's so (Fmaj7)easy to let a (Bb)day

slip on (C)by

(Dm)without even (Fmaj7)seeing each other at (Bb)all.

(Dm)But this is the (Fmaj7)time you'll turn back to and (Gm7)so will

(Em7)I, (Dm)and those will be (Fmaj7)days you can never (Bbsus2)recall.

(Eb)although we'll want to.

This is the time, but time is gonna (G7sus)change.

You've given me the (Gbaug)best of you,

but now I need the (Bb)rest (F)of you.
