 DG
If you were to wake up    
 D
And I were beside you
 D
Would you gently smile dear
 A
And whisper my name
 DG
And would you remember     
 D
The way that I held you
 DA
And would you want me      
 D
To hold you again

(melody repeats)

Time reaches to you
Just like a willow
That bends to the water
And clings to the shore
And there was a time dear
That once you did love me
And there was a time
You loved me no more

Rain on your window
Light on your pillow
The way you lie sleeping
Is it like before
For there was a time dear
That once you did love me
And there was a time
You loved me no more
