Verse 1:
D
Hello,it's good to see you
Em
Just how long has it been
A
I've often wondered what i'd say
D
If we ever met again
If i'd try just being clever
Em
Or pretend not to remember
A
But it's funny how you've lingered
D
On my mind
Chorus:
D
Didn't we shine
Em
Didn't we shine
A
Didn't we share and care
D
And lay our hearts on the line
Maybe it wasn't meant to last
Em
'Til the end of time
A
Oh,but while it did
D
Didn't we shine
Verse 2:
I still have some blue days
Em
That i could do without
A
And when i have my blue days
D
You're all i think about
But i've long ago forgiven you
Em
For what you did or didn't do
A
Now all i can recall
D
Are the happy times
Chorus.
Em
Was it my imagination
D
Or didn't we shine
