Dm11              Eb6               Fsus2 
 We walked on the beach beside that old hotel 
They're tearing it down now, but it's just as well 
I haven't shown you everything a man can do 
So stay with me baby; I've got plans for you 

            F/A       Bb               Eb               F 
This is the time to remember, cause it will not last forever 
              F/A          Bb              Eb                    F 
These are the days to hold on to, cause we won't, although we'll want to  
Bb               Fm/Ab              F/G(no 3rd) 
This is the time, but time is gonna change 
                    Gb   Gb6 
You've given me the best of you 
                   Bb/F F 
And now I need the rest of you  

Dm11                 Eb6             Fsus2 
 Did you know that before you came into my life  
It was some kind of miracle that I survived 
Some day we will both look back and have to laugh 
We lived through a lifetime and the aftermath 

            F/A       Bb               Eb               F 
This is the time to remember, cause it will not last forever 
              F/A          Bb              Eb                    F 
These are the days to hold on to, cause we won't, although we'll want to  
Bb               Fm/Ab              F/G(no 3rd) 
This is the time, but time is gonna change 
                    Gb   Gb6 
I know we've got to move somehow 
                    Bb/F F  
But I don't want to lose you know  

Dm7                Am7           Bb          C   A7/C# 
 Sometimes it's so easy to let a day slip on by 
Dm7           Am7                  Bb   C 
 Without even seeing each other at all 
Dm7              Am7                       Gm7     Em7   A7 
 But this is the time you'll turn back and so will I 
Dm7                Am7                  Bbsus2     
 And those will be days you can never recall  

Dm11                 Eb6             Fsus2 
 And so we embrace again behind the dunes  
This beach is cold on winter afternoons  
But holding you close is like holding the summer sun  
I'm warm from the memory of days to come 

            F/A       Bb               Eb               F 
This is the time to remember, cause it will not last forever 
              F/A          Bb              Eb                    F 
These are the days to hold on to, cause we won't, although we'll want to  
Bb               Fm/Ab              F/G(no 3rd) 
This is the time, but time is gonna change 
                    Gb   Gb6 
You've given me the best of you 
                   Bb/F F 
And now I need the rest of you
