   Looking back a few short years

        F                             F#
When we made our plans and played the cards

    G
The way they fell

G#   A           A/D          C#m7   G#m
        Clinging to our confi dence

         G                Bm7
We stood on the threshold of the goal

F#m                    F#
    That we knew dear

E   D6     A   F#m  D/E  A
And though we  had  our  fights

F#m7  D/E  A7    D/A  A7    D
Had   our  short tem  pered nights

F6                   F        A
It couldn't pull our dreams a part

Bm7                           G
    All our needs and all our wants

E                   F#m
    Drawn together -er in our heart

Bm7
    We felt it from the very

G           Cmaj7           Bm7  F#m
   It's all happened recent ly

          F
Now we're living in that dream

   F#      G
We had not long ago

G#  A        A/D            C#m7    G#m
       Every thing is going fine

    G      Bm7          F#m7           F#
And now we just have to keep in mind

E   D6   A    F#m    D/E   A
We  must set  brand  new   goals

F#m7  D/E    A7  D/A  A    D
We    must   not lose con  trol

Dm7                  A
    Of the possibili ty

Bm7                        G
    Of finding the discove ry

E                       F#m
   That would let every body see

Bm7              E7
    That we were just meant
