It will take a long time to forget you my dear

A long long time I'll regret you're not here
A                                         C
A long time remembering when I had you so near

There's a lot of people out a walkin' tonight
                                      G
Thinkin' about arms that held 'em so tight
                           C
Memories keep a comin' in sight
        D                  G

I know a young fellow that lived down the street

He had a good woman everything was complete
                                      C
She was understandin' yes she was so sweet

Now there's an old sayin' you're as old as you feel

But time waits for no one and it never will
