Time Passes On

 C Em Am F G   C Em Am F G

C  G   Am Em F          Am   G
Time passes on like a river that must always run;
C  G   Am Em F            G
now you are gone but I will have you till time is done.
F       C
You can never take away
F          C
the love you gave me yesterday,
F           C   G
and I don't have to capture you
       F     G F
'cause you're here in my memory.

C  G    Am Em F         Am  G
My life goes on like a song that is never still;
C   G    Am Em F           G
I'll sing that song to the emptiness I'll never fill.
F         C
I don't need your photograph
F          C
to see your face in front of me.
F       C    Am7
We may never touch again
      F      G F
but you're here in this melody.

     Fmaj7      Em
What once was will always be,
      Fmaj7       Am7
and you've left your imprint on me.
       Fmaj7         Em
Sometimes I think it's the spark of conflict
        Gmaj7
with which we affect most heavily.
   Fmaj7       Em
But I hope if you think of me
     Fmaj7     Em  G
you'll remember only harmony and
C    G Am Em F           Am  G
time passes on like a river that must always run;
C    G Am Em F             G
now you are gone but I will have you till time is done.
F    G   C
You can never take away
F       G   C
the love you gave me yesterday,
F      G   Am7  C
and I don't have to capture you
       F     G F
