[N] [E]
[A] [Dm]
[Bm]
[C] [Am]
[G]
[F]
Somehow the season always brings [Dm] a picture of [Bb]
you
Baby boom [C] baby
[F] Holding on [Am] for everything you figured you'd [Bb]
do
It's a [C] turtleneck girl
[F] Moon on your shoulder
[Dm] Wind in your lovely hair
[Gm]
[Bb] Oh what [C] a night
[F] [Dm] We sat on the beach
And [Gm] watched as the sun rose
[Bb] Into the [Dbm] summer [Dm] air
Said we couldn't miss [C] what we [Dm] never knew
Something about something [C] that you had to [Dm] do
[C] Sitting on the [Bb] sand with [C] a hole [F] in my [Bb] shoe
[F] I had no way [Dm] of knowing where you might have [Bb] been
Time [C] goes by [F] all on my own
I imagine you were life in between
[Bb]
All on my [C] own
Wrote [F] on a letter but never made it out of my head
[Bb] Girl, [C] no
[F]
Somehow reading your name
It wasn't the [Bb] same as leaving a [A] thing [Dm] unsaid
[Am]
How come I [Bb] miss what I [C] never [Dm] knew
Drag out [Bb] my past as to [C] fade in [Dm] blue
Spend my [Bb] days with [C]
dreams [Dm] of [Bb] you
[E] Oh
[A] After a [Dm] fall
Here I'm [Em] trying to find our [Am] name on the wall
[Em] It
[Am] [C] was neither yours nor mine
[Bb] It was [A] something of the two [Dm] combined
[G] From [F] a time spent out of time
I work hard to see that you remember my name
Count your [C] days
[F] Do all I can to make you want to [Dm] see me [F] again
[Bb] Oh, what [C] a night
Got a [F] letter from the mail
Got a message from [Dm] the telephone
[Bb]
[C] [F] Seems you're [Dm] working it down [Bb] Moving around Living alone
[Dm] [Am] I'm calling the [Bb] spotlight
[C] Walking a [Dm]
while
My feet are [Bb] frozen and my [C] heart's on [Dm] fire
What do I [Bb] do if my [C] dream [Dm]
comes [Bb] true?
