It's been almost a year since that beautiful weekend.

It was more than a lifetime ago.

How it happens to mind after all of this time.

And brings tears to my eyes I don't know.
            D
It's the thought of you.
                         A
And the way that it hurts to be so much in love.
       D
The thought of you
                  A
Brings it all my way.
   A
I know that it's late. I'm sorry I called.

I'm surprised to have found you at home.

It's just once in a while I remember your number.

I was hoping that you'd be alone.
        D
For I thought of you.
                     A
And the way you can turn it around with a smile.
          D
And the thought of you
                  A
Brings it all my way.
    Bm                        D
I know that it's over, but I can't discover
   A
A way to erase how I feel.
    Bm                           G
I remember the nights and the passionate fights.
       Bm                         E7
And I know that I love you and I always will.
       A
And I want you to know that I'm always her for you.

Any day, any night, any time.

It happened before, it could happen once more.

There's a chance that you might change you're mind.
          D
For the thought of you.
                     A
And the way that it feels to be safe in your arms.
       D
The thought of you
                  A
Brings it all my way.
   Bm                         D
I know that it's over, but I can't discover
   A
A way to erase how I feel.
    Bm                           G
I remember the nights and the passionate fights.
       Bm                        E7
And I know that I love you and I always will.
            A
It's been almost a year since that beautiful weekend.
