How Does A Moment Last Forever

Céline Dion


Tom: Em

G          D              Em
How does a moment last forever?
C                     G
How can a story never die?
      D                 G
It is love we must hold onto
      Em  A7       D
Never easy, but we try
G             D            Em
Sometimes our happiness is captured
C                                 G
Somehow, our time and place stand still
Am              Bm       Em
Love lives on inside our hearts
    A7     B7
And always will

[Chorus]
Em              Am
Minutes turn to hours,
D                 Em
Days to years and gone
    G        D                Em
But when all else has been forgotten
C         D7         G
Still our song lives on

[Verse 2]
G          D                  Em
Maybe some moments weren’t so perfect
C                          G
Maybe some memories not so sweet
       D                     G
But we have to know some bad times
       Em        A7   D
Or our lives are incomplete
G             D           G
Then when the shadows overtake us
C                             G
Just when we feel all hope is gone
      Am                Bm        Em
We’ll hear our song and know once more
    A7         B7
Our love lives on

[Interlude]
C    G    Am   Em
C    G    Am   Em
G G/F# G/E G/D

[Verse 3]
G          D           Em
How does a moment last forever?
C                      G
How does our happiness endure?
            D              G
Through the darkest of our troubles
        Em    A7        D
Love is beauty, love is pure
G            D       G
Love pays no mind to desolation
   C                              G
It flows like a river through the soul
   Am                   Bm   Em
Protects, persists, and perseveres
    A7       B7
And makes us whole

[Chorus]
Em              Am
Minutes turn to hours,
D                 Em
Days to years and gone
    G        D                Em
But when all else has been forgotten
C         D7         Em
Still our song lives on
G          D           Em
How does a moment last forever?
C        D          G
When our song lives on
