     C                       Dm
In a long and involved conversation with myself

  F            Fm               C
I saw precious things come into view

       C                             Dm
When I pored through the files taken off my mental shelf

  F               Fm          C
I dusted off some memories of you

       Em                          Am
Then I thought about the time when our affair was green

        Em                        Am
How the phoenix of our love first flapped its silken wings

        F           G
All the urgency and passion

        C       Em    A
Of each new day as it happened

    F          Fm             C
And how it all mellowed as it grew

    C                           Dm
I remembered the times when our laughter would explode

    F             Fm                C
And how you would turn to hide your smile

         C                        Dm
Then the hours of silence while a perfumed candle glowed

    F                 Fm               C
And both our thoughts meandered on for miles

    Em                         Am
I remembered the time I said I really had to go

        Em                                  Am
And I remembered the tears that filled your eyes

       F                     G
Then I touched your hand and told you

        C      Em    A
That it really was a lie

    F                Fm
And though you never knew it dear

  C
I cried

      C                      Dm
It's amazing how time can so softly change your ways

    F                Fm                   C
And make you look at things that can't be seen

        C                      Dm
How the years that roll by can start you listening

    F                 Fm
Not just to what they say

              C
But what they mean

       Em                   Am
So, forgive me my dear if I seem preoccupied

       Em                                 Am
If the razor edge of youth-filled love is gone

          F             G             C       Em       A
But we're both a little older and our relationship has grown

    F                G                    C
Not just in how it's shaped, but how it's shown
