CFGC 

walking / away with / you on the / beach

watching the / sea, the / mother birds / teach

FCGC 

in quiet / way my / arm around / you 

FCGC 

knowing our / time here / now is / through 

CFCG, CFCGC 


we take each / other / once / again 

ignoring / the / oncoming / rain

there’s no other / woman in my / life, just / you 

knowing our / time here / now is / through 


we take each other, / holding / tight

I’m thinking / of the / time last / night 

when your / tears / came on / cue 

knowing our / time here / now is / through 


FCGC/ AmCGC


we had a / few good / years, I / know

enjoying the / children, / watching them / grow

but now things are / not the / same, it’s / true 

knowing our / time here / now is / through 


in the / bay, gulls / climb up / high 

I’m watching them, / unthinking, but I / hear them / cry 

the horizon an / orange / goodbye / hue 

knowing our / time here / now is / through 


Ch

to bring love into my life, girl, / you were the key, ooh, ooh
