        F   G   C    Cadd9 C  Cadd9 C   
Time to say goodnight 
         Am          Em            G          Dm 
Though I know, in my heart, you're leaving 
        Am7               F 
If only I could turn back time 
         C         G       C    Cadd9 
You'd be here with me once more 


N.C.         C     Em 
So fare thee well 
            F 
Our time is over 
  C                G             F 
Tomorrow you won't be here by my side 
       C        Em 
You're going unafraid 
         F 
But your memory won't fade 
  C             G            F 
Until I hold you in my arms again

It's time to say goodbye 
              Am         Em          G       Dm 
Though you'll stay in my thoughts forever 
             Am7          F 
We'll walk together in my dreams 
           C              G     C    Cadd9 
Where I'll see your sweet face again 


N.C.         C      Em  
So fare thee well 
               F 
Those days are over 
     C              G               F 
It's time for us to go our separate ways 
     C                    Em       
I'll smile through all my tears 
        F 
Looking back on all those years 
  C            G            F 
Until we are together once again
