C                                              Am  
The days of autumn splendor         
                                                       Dm7  
Those moments warm and tender   
                G7               C     Fm       
Was it too beautiful to last   
C                                           Am  
The love we share together   
                                                 Dm7   
The dreams we dare together   
                 G7              C   
Was it too beautiful to last   
Fm          
Walking hand in hand   
Bb   
The dawn discloses   
               Eb   
We were dreaming of a land   
C#   
Where love preposes   
      G#   
But castles made of sand   
D7                              Dm7     Fm    
Like winter roses are fated to die   
                 G                               G7   
My darlin', like you and I, my darlin'   
C                                                         Am  
Where are those sweet Septembers   
                                                Dm7    
The joy my heart remembers   
                 G7                     C     Fm   
Lost in the shadows of the past   
C                                                   Am   
The rainbow watched above you   
                                                  Dm7  
The sacred words "I love you"   
                     G7                     C   
Why did that dream go by so fast  
Fm          
Walking hand in hand   
Bb   
The dawn discloses   
               Eb   
We were dreaming of a land   
C#   
Where love preposes   
      G#   
But castles made of sand   
D7                              Dm7     Fm    
Like winter roses are fated to die

My darlin', like you and I, my darlin'  
C                                                         Am  
Where are those sweet Septembers   
                                                Dm7    
The joy my heart remembers

Lost in the shadows of the past
