        We walked on the beach beside that old hotel. 
 
Dm7                 Cm/Eb              F 
        They're tearing it down now, but it's just as well. 
 
Dm7                 Cm/Eb              F

the 
 
F/A                 Bb                 Eb            Gm7  F 
   days        to hold on to   cuz we won't altho' we'll want to.  This is 
the 
 
Bb                  Fm/Ab              Gm7                G7/F

       Did you know that before you came into my life 
 
Dm7                 Cm/Eb              F 
          it was some kind of miracle that I survived. 
 
Dm7                 Cm/Eb              F 
         Someday we will both look back & have to laugh.

        We lived thru a lifetime & the aftermath.                This is the 
 
F/A                 Bb                 Eb            Gm7  F 
 time        to remember       cuz it will not las forever.    These are the

 to move somehow           but I don't want to lose you now. 
 
Dm                  Am7                Bb                 C 
        Sometimes it's so easy to let a day         slip on by 
 
Dm                  Am7                Bb 
          without even seeing each other at all. 
 
Dm                  Am7                Bb                 Em7       A7

      And so we embrace again behind the dunes. 
 
Dm7                 Cm/Eb              F 
         This beach is cold on winter afternoons. 
 
Dm7                 Cm/Eb              F 
        But holding you close is like holding the summer sun.
