Verse 
A                    E7 
Long time since I've seen your smile 
F#m                 C#7        D 
But when I close my eyes I remember mmmm 
A                        E7 
You were no more than a child 
F#m             C#7          D 
But then so was I young and tender 
 
A    B7 
Time carries on 
D                 A 
I guess it always will 
            B7 
But deep inside my heart 
D           A 
Time stands still 
 
F#m B       E7 
Stay for a while 
           A                D 
Well it's good to see your smile 
      C#7            F#m 
And I love your company 
    B      E7 
Stay for a while 
      A                     D 
And remember the day's gone by 
      C#7           F#m 
For a moment it can seem 
         D      E7      A 
Just the way it used to be 
 
A                       E7 
Snowfalls phone calls broken hearts 
F#m          C#7            D 
Clear summer days warm and lazy yeah 
A                      E7 
Long walks long talks after dark 
F#m                    C#7           D 
We vowed we'd never forget now it's hazy 
 
A    B7 
Time takes its toll 
D                   A 
And time alters our view 
            B7 
It would be nice 
              D         A 
To spend some time with you 
 
F#m B       E7 
Stay for a while 
           A                D 
Well it's good to see your smile 
      C#7            F#m 
And I love your company 
    B      E7 
Stay for a while 
      A                     D 
And remember the day's gone by 
      C#7           F#m 
For a moment it can seem 
         D      E7      A 
Just the way it used to be
