[Intro] -Piano- Dm7 Bb x2 [Guitar Solo] Dm C Bb Dm x4 [Verse]
Dm7              Bb         C      F
We walked on the beach beside that old hotel

Dm7              Bb
They're tearing it down now

F                C
But it's just as well

Dm7              Bb           C      F
I haven't shown you everything a man can do

Dm7              Bb
So stay with me baby

     F                C
I've got plans for you
[Chorus]
C             F           Bb
This is the time to remember

                Eb           F
Cause it will not last forever

C             F           Bb
These are the days to hold on to

               Eb           F
Cause we won't although we'll want to

    Bb           Bb/Ab
This is the time

                Gm7    Gm7/F
But time is gonna change

                  Eb
You've given me the best of you

                     F
And now I need the rest of you
[Verse]
Dm7              Bb         C      F
So we embrace again beyond the dunes

Dm7              Bb         F      C
This beach is so cold on winter afternoons

Dm7              Bb         C      F
ah but holding you close is like holding the summer sun

Dm7              Bb         F           C
a long from the memory from the days to come

Dm7           C               Bb             C
Sometimes it's so easy to let a day slip on by

Dm7   C            Bb              C
without even seeing each other at all

Dm7          C               Bb              C
but this the time you turn back to so so blind ..

Dm7    C            Bb              C
those will be days you can never recall.
[Guitar Solo] Dm7 C Bb C x4 [Chorus]
C             F           Bb
This is the time to remember

                Eb           F
Cause it will not last forever

C             F           Bb
These are the days to hold on to

               Eb           F
Cause we won't although we'll want to

    Bb           Bb/Ab
This is the time

                Gm7    Gm7/F
But time is gonna change

                  Eb
You've given me the best of you

                     F
And now I need the rest of you
[Verse]
Dm7           Bb               C      F
Did you know that before you came into my life

Dm7           Bb             F       C
It was some kind of miracle that I survived

Dm7           Bb                 C      F
Some day we will both look back and have to laugh

Dm7        Bb                 F      C
We lived through a lifetime and the aftermath
[Chorus]
C             F           Bb
This is the time to remember

                Eb           F
Cause it will not last forever

C             F           Bb
These are the days to hold on to

               Eb           F
Cause we won't although we'll want to

    Bb           Bb/Ab
This is the time

                Gm7    Gm7/F
But time is gonna change

                  Eb
You've given me the best of you

                     F
And now I need the rest of you
