C  Em Am F G      C Em Am F G
C    G     Am Em F                    Am     G
Time passes on like a river that must always run;
C   G      Am Em F                        G
now you are gone but I will have you till time is done.
F        G    C
You can never take away
F             G      C
the love you gave me yesterday,
F           G         C      Am
and I don't have to capture you
 G          F          G F
'cause you're here in my memory.

C   G       Am Em F                 Am    G
My life goes on like a song that is never still;
C     G       Am Em F                      G
I'll sing that song to the emptiness I'll never fill.
F        G         C
I don't need your photograph
F            G      C
to see your face in front of me.
F      G      C       Am7
We may never touch again
            F           G F
but you're here in this melody.

          F               Em
What once was will always be,
            F                  Em
and you've left your imprint on me.
             F                     Em
Sometimes I think it's the spark of conflict
               Dmaj7
with which we affect most heavily.
      F                 Em7
But I hope if you think of me
         F             Em7  G
you'll remember only harmony and

C       G  Am Em F                     Am    G
time passes on like a river that must always run;
C        G Am Em F                          G
now you are gone but I will have you till time is done.
F        G     C
You can never take away
F             G      C
the love you gave me yesterday,
F            G      Am7    C
and I don't have to capture you
              F         G F
'cause you're here in my memory.
