More songs by Amy Grant


This file is part of a collection that (moreso than the rest of the site) are not meant to be detailed or accurate transcriptions of the original recordings. They're just some simple chord charts that I made for my own use, some of them my own arrangements.

D     C#m   F#m (3×)       D     E     A


        Asus2                Esus4
        Long time since I've seen your smile
     F#m11                   C#m7     D6sus2
        But when I close my eyes I remember
        Asus2            Esus4
        You were no more than a child
     F#m11               C#m7         D6sus2
        But then so was I, young and tender


 A       B7        D                    A
    Time carries on, I guess it always will
 A              B7          D              A
    But deep inside my heart, time stands still


    (E/G#)  F#m  B7       E
            Stay--- for awhile
                      A/C#             D
            Well it's good to see your smile
                   G#m7      C#7   F#m,add9  F#m
            And I love your company
            F#m  B7       E
            Stay--- for awhile
                  A/C#                  D
            And remember the days gone by
                   G#m7   C#7    F#m,add9  F#m
            For a moment it can seem
                      D         E
            Just the way it used to be


        Asus2                   Esus4
        Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts
     F#m11               C#m7        D6sus2
        Clear summer days, warm and lazy
        Asus2                  Esus4
        Long walks, long talks after dark
     F#m11                      C#m7          D6sus2
        We vowed we'd never forget, now it's hazy


 A       B7            D                      A
    Time takes its toll, and time alters our view
 A               B7                 D         A
    It would be nice to spend some time with you
