There was a time when we'd be the last to leave
5 1
Watching the sun come up while everyone fell asleep
1 2-
The music was always loud and I'd smoke and drink too much
5 1
Until I'd fall in your arms and into your lovin' touch
4 5 1
Now as the years roll by, time has reeled me in
5 1
I've slowed down a notch or two from the way things were then
4 2- 5
Those old ways of mine, I've left them behind
4 1
Those crazy days are through
4 2- 5
The only thing I still do like I used to do
4 1
Is carry this torch for you
1 2-
Remember the days when we'd pack our bags and run
5 1
Chasing a crazy dream into the morning sun
1 2-
Now as the twilight falls, I find I'm satisfied
5 1
Watching the fire glow as long as you're by my side
4 5 1
Here in my heart it seems, time has passed me by
5 1
I love you as much today as the very first time
4 2- 5
Those old ways of mine, I've left them behind
4 1
Those crazy days are through
4 2- 5
The only thing I still do like I used to do
4 1
Is carry this torch for you
4 1
I still want you the way I wanted you then
5 1
If I could do it all over, I'd do it all over again
