I remember romance, bubblebaths at night.
D                   D4             D      G
Breakfast in the afternoon and love by candlelight,
 Em7       A7       D  D4  D  D4
Love by candlelight.
D            D4          D               D4
I remember romance and lying in her arms.
     D               D4                D         G
Her hair across my shoulder, her breast upon my arms,
    Dm7   A7      D   D4  D  D4  Em7  A7  Dmaj7
So soft upon my arms.
Em7  A7  Dmaj7  Em7  A7  F#m7 Bm7  Em7  A7  D  D4  D  D4
 D            D4          D                 D4
I remember romance and laughing at the moon.
   D             D4               D              G
Dancing at the rainbows end and losing her too soon,
 Em7   A7       D   D4  D  D4
Losing her too soon.
      D              D4      D                      D4
I know we both are sorry, I know we both still care.
     D                     D4        D          G
Oh, how could we have lost it, a love beyond compare,
   Em7   A7
A love beyond compare.
