Dm7                      Bb              C          F
We walked on the beach beside that old hotel
Dm7                  Bb
They're tearing it down now
F                        C
But it's just as well
Dm7                   Bb                     C         F

I've got plans for you

[Chorus]
C                F                        Bb
This is the time to remember
                        Eb               F
Cause it will not last forever
C                      F                Bb
These are the days to hold on to

Cause we won't although we'll want to

So we embrace again beyond the dunes
Dm7                     Bb           F           C
This beach is so cold on winter afternoons
Dm7                     Bb             C        F
ah but holding you close is like holding the summer sun
Dm7                     Bb                  F                 C
a long from the memory from the days to come

Dm7              C                       Bb                    C
Sometimes it's so easy to let a day slip on by
Dm7   C                       Bb                  C
without even seeing each other at all
Dm7             C                      Bb                   C
but this the time you turn back to so so blind ..
Dm7    C                  Bb                    C
those will be days you can never recall.

Did you know that before you came into my life
Dm7              Bb                     F          C
It was some kind of miracle that I survived
Dm7               Bb                                C         F
Some day we will both look back and have to laugh
Dm7        Bb                           F           C
We lived through a lifetime and the aftermath
