[Ab] Don't [Eb] lose the wonder in [Ab] your eyes
[Eb] I can see it right now [Bb] when you smile
Let [Ab] me go back [Cm] for a while
Let [Ab] me go back for [Cm] a while
[Bb] To that [Eb] magic time
You [Ab]
[C] can call [Eb] it nostalgia
I [Ab] don't mind
[Eb] Sittin' on that windswept [Bb] hill
Outside
[Ab] Listenin' to the [Cm] church bells chime
Listenin' to the church bells [Bb] chime
In that [Eb] magic time
[Ab] Oh, the road, it never ends
[Eb] Here to see you, my old friend
Once [F] again, we sit right down
[Dm] And [Bb] share the wine
[Eb] Shivers up and [Ab] down my spine
[Eb] It's a feeling [Bb] so divine
[Ab] Let me go back [Cm] for a while
Got to go back for a [Gm] while
To that [Eb] magic time

[Eb] The sun is [Bb] gonna shine
When [Ab] we go back [Cm] for a while
[Ab] Let me go back [Cm] for a [Bb] while
To that [Eb] magic time
[Ab]
[Eb] Don't lose the wonder
[Ab] In your eyes, [Eb] they're right there
[Bb] With your smile
[Ab] Gotta go back [Cm] for a while
[Ab] Got to go back for [Cm] a [Bb] while
To that [Eb] magic time
[Bb] Oh, [Eb] let's just close our [Ab] eyes, old man
[Eb] Standin' on that [Gm] westward hillside
