G Em C
Seize upon that moment long ago
Am D G
One breath away and there you will be
Am D G
So young and carefree
A G Am D G
Again you will see that place in time, so gold
G Em C G
Steal away into that way back when
Em G
You thought that all would last forever
A D G
But like the weather
D G A Am D G
Nothing can ever, and be in time, stay gold
C Am Em
But can it be when we can see
Am G
So vividly, a memory
C Am Em Am C G
And yes, you say, so must the day to fade away
Em C D G D
And leave a ray of sun, so gold
G Em C
Life is but a twinkling of an eye
Am G
Yet filled with sorrow and compassion
Am D G D
Though not imagined, all things that happen
A D G
Will age too old, though gold
G F G
Oh gold
There is a pause here where he either stops or holds out a note... Play the chord during the pause. :)
