Intro: (Bm) (G6) (A6) (Bm) (G6) (A6) (Bm) (G6) (A6) (D)

(D) Dreams drift away like leaves on the water
They (Gmaj7) roll down the river and slip (A) out of (D) sight
Too many times we do what we ought
Put (Gmaj7) off 'til tomorrow what we'd really rather (D) do ton(Em7)ight
And (A6) later realize

   (Bm7) Time (G6) passes (D) by, (Bm7) peo(G6)ple pass (D)on
   At the (Bm7) drop (G6) of a (D) tear, they're (G) gone
   (A) Let's (Bm7) do (G6) what we (D) dare, (Bm7) do (G6) what we (D) like
   And (Bm7) love (G6) while we're (D) here before (G) time (A) passes (Bm) by

(G6) (A6) (Bm) (G6) (A6) (Bm) (G6) (A6) (D) 

Thoughts are like pennies we keep in our pockets
They're never worth nothing 'til we give them away
But love's like a promise in an un-opened letter
Where nights full of pleasure seldom see the light of day
When life gets in the way
