               C   G
On a cool grey morning, I watched with my own eyes
    C                             D           C
As he headed out the driveway and finally out of my life
    G           C    G  Bm             C
Oh, I knew he'd soon be miles from my mind
   Em                      C      D                     G
So why should tears start falling after all this time


CHORUS:
          Em               Bm
How can a memory last this long
        C        G
Will he ever go away
         Em                 Bm
Even the stars burn out and fall
        C        Am
Will he ever go away
            G             C       G    Am
How can someone who left so long ago
         G              C
Still be here with me today
        D        G
Will he ever go away


INSTRUMENTAL: G   Em   Bm   C   G   Em   Bm   C      G


                  C  G                       C
Shouldn't I start living my life for myself
                        D                 C
Shouldn't it be easy to fall in love with someone else
    G                C   G     Bm             C
Oh, why should it be his touch I feel in the dark
    Em             C      D                      G
And will his voice always echo through my heart


CHORUS:
          Em               Bm
How can a memory last this long
        C        G
Will he ever go away
         Em                 Bm
Even the stars burn out and fall
        C        Am
Will he ever go away
            G             C       G    Am
How can someone who left so long ago
         G              C
Still be here with me today
        D        G
Will he ever go away


OUTRO: G   Em   Bm
             C        G    Em   Bm
Ohh, will he ever go away
        C        G
Will he ever go away
