G 
D 
When first we loved
G 
and when our life was new
C 
Time lay around us
G 
like the space around a star
D 
But time moves faster than
G 
C 
it used to do
G 
D 
G 
Thoughts of time will break my heart
D 
We've been through every weather,
G 
you and me,
C 
forever twining ourselves together
G 
till death pillows part.
D 
G 
C 
But death is nearer than it used to be.
G 
D 
To know the thoughts of time
G 
will break my heart
D 
We know our children will
G 
take wing and fly
C 
Skies will be broken and
G 
a circle torn apart
D 
But to know our children will
G 
C 
grow old and die
G 
D 
G 
Thoughts of time will break my heart.
D 
When our time is gone
G 
and others' time begun,
C 
Our lives swept aside
G 
and others' lives about to start,
D 
Then we'll join the past
G 
C 
as countless more have done.
G 
D 
Thoughts of time will break my

heart

G 
D 
If we joined a dream,
G 
we also joined a fear
C 
That one will be left behind,
G 
the other will depart
D 
But we've been in love
G 
C 
G 
for more than twenty years
D 
G 
Thoughts of time will break my heart
D 
Our dream is old,
G 
a dream that's always new,
C 
a dream ever with us,
G 
it was with us from the start.
D 
G 
The dream that all could live as lovers do,
C 
a dream coming nearer
G 
though it always seems
D 
But to die before we see
G 
C 
our dream come true,
G 
D 
only that could break my heart.
