G Em D
[Verse]
G
Rain streams down the window
Em D
And I recall the day we ran and how
G
On Brownsea Island meadow
Em D
You couldn't catch me then, you wouldn't catch me now
C
If it's only memory
G
Echoing down the hallway
C
In whisper as you come to me
D
We are growing closer
[Chorus]
G
So don't you cry
Em
For what will never last
D C G
Each moment created in time
Em
It's all a future past
D
That we are living now
[Interlude]
G Em D
[Verse 2]
G
Change is coming down the line
Em D
I give thanks if that much stays the same
G
This life is not to our design
Em D
Could not have known it then, but now I see it plain
C
If all we are is memory
G
Doorways on a garden
C
The flowers of a century
D
We are growing stronger
[Chorus 2]
G
So don't you cry
Em
For what will never last
D C G
Each moment created in time
Em
It's all a future past
D
That we are living now
[Solo]
C G C D
[Chorus 3]
G
So don't you cry
Em
For what will never last
D C G
Each moment created in time
Em D
It's all a future past
G
So lay your gaze
Em
On what will ever last
D C G
Each moment in time we create
Em
It's all a future past
D
And we are living now
