It brings me sadness
D
Just remembering getting home
Em
From a tiring day of work

She would hold me very tight
F# D
And kiss me tenderly

We sat while, and she'd tell me all the news
Em
How she took the kids to school
B
And she found them at the zoo
F# D
Thorowing peanuts to the bears
G D
Oh, this remembrance keeps reflecting on my mind
Em
When the days ran calm and fine

And I had her by my side

Swearing love eternally
G C G
But, hey! How could I know

Love was to go after all this time?

Hey! How could I see
C G D
She would leave me after all this time?
G D
Little by little our sky was getting darker
Em
Our dreams were running farther
B F# D
Our smiles becoming harder, in the distance of us two

Our loving glaces very rarely they were meeting
Em
We were always, always fleeing
B
From a love we felt was ending
F# D
Still we never said a word
G C G
But, hey! How could I know
C G D
Love was to go after all this time?
G C G
Hey! How could I see
C G D
She would leave me after this time?

Then one fine morning with a torn and acking heart
Em
We decided we should part
B
For it was late ro restart
F# D
A love that never was
G D
I still can picture: you were standing at the railing
Em
Saw your taxi that was waiting
B F# D
Held a tear when you were waving your very last good-bye
G D
The kids were with me as your taxi drove away
Em
I had nothing more to say
B
So I put them all to sleep
