(verse 1) 
G 
Time as I've known it, 
 Am                            C  D - C 
Doesn't take much time to pass by me, 
G                           Am  
Minutes into days turn into months turn into years, 
           C  G  D - C 
They hurry by me  
 
(chorus) 
Am                             G 
Still I love to see the sun go down, 
                    D 
And the world go around, 
 
(verse 2) 
G 
Dreams full of promises, 
Am  
Hopes for the future, 
        C  G  D - C 
I've had many,  
 
 
(verse 3) 
G 
Dreams I can't remember now, 
Am 
Hopes that I've forgotten, 
     C  G   D - C 
Faded memories,  
 
 
(chorus) 
Am                             G 
Still I love to see the sun go down, 
                    D 
And the world go around,  
 
(bridge) 
D      Am             C 
And I love to see the morning, 
       G                 C 
As it steals across the sky, 
   Am         C 
I love to remember  
      G              C 
And I love to wonder why,  
      Am              C 
And I hope that I'm around, 
         G               C 
So I can be there when I die, 
        D    D7 
When I'm gone  
 
 
(verse 4) 
G 
I hope that you will think of me, 
Am  
In moments when you're happy, 
          C  G  D - C 
And you're smiling, 
 
 
(verse 5)  
G 
That a thought will comfort you, 
Am  
On cold and cloudy days, 
          C G  D - C  
If you are crying  
  Am                           G 
Still I love to see the sun go down, 
                 D  
And the world go around, 
                G - D - C 
And around and around
