G                   D                        Em                    Bm 
Time heals wounds, they say. Time takes the pain away. 
 
C             D                  C                D 
I wonder why it never happens for me. 
 
G                            D                    Em              Bm 
It's years since you went away but I miss you night and day. 
 
C                         D       C                G 
Why you had to go is a mystery to me. 
G                                      D                  Em     Bm 
What seemed important then becomes trivial when

C                      D          C                 D 
Fate deals the card that forces your hand.

             G                D                  Em                Bm 
All the places we'd been, all the things we had seen,

       C                D           C             G 
No more in the future; it just isn't planned.  
 
It's all very strange, but when you went, I changed. 
It just seemed to happen with the passing of each day. 
I don't understand. Is it part of a plan? 
Does one person grow when another fades away? 
 
Small things you'd do weave pictures of you. 
They're printed for life on the back of my mind. 
I was always so sure. Your life was so pure. 
To the faults and to bad times a loved one stays blind. 
 
I always found that when you were around, 
You helped me with worries and eased all my fears. 
You always had time for problems of mine, 
A shoulder to cry on, a listening ear.
