Friend, do you remember the time when we were kids?
Cm6 Gm Gmadd9 Gm Baug
And all the while, dreams we dreamed, the crazy things we did
Cm9 Cm Gm9 Gm
Time and life and circumstance had made us grow apart
Adim Adim/Gb D Dsus/E D/Gb
But through all of these somber years, I keep you in my heart
Cm7 Gm7
So, if sometime, you’d like to meet in our old cafe bar
Cm7 Gm7 G5/B
Get a table in the corner by the jukebox in the dark
Cm7 Gm7
I’ll pour a little something and we’ll reminiscе away
Adim D Eb/D D7
In the middle of a memory, that’s whеn you’ll hear me say
[Chorus]
N.C. Gm Cm9
“Let’s raise a glass and drink to that
F Bb
Let’s sing a song, a song from the past
D/A Gm Cm
Let’s raise a glass, two eyes in love
D7 Gm
‘Cause that is life and how it goes”
[Verse 2]
Cm6 Gm9
Now, girl, do you remember summer nights and our first kiss?
Cm6 Gm9 Cm6
A time when life was simple and our innocence was bliss
Gm9
Other lovers through the years had made us drift apart
Adim D D7
But through promises of fearsome vows, you’re always in my heart
Cm7 Gm7
And, if sometime, you’d like to meet in our old cafe bar
Cm7 Gm7
Get a table in the corner with a candle in the dark
Cm7 Gm7
I’ll pour a little something and we’ll reminisce away
Adim D Eb/D D7
In the middle of a memory, that’s when you’ll hear me say
[Chorus]
N.C. Gm Cm9
“Let’s raise a glass and drink to that
F7 Bb
Let’s sing a song, a song from the past
D/A Gm Cm
Let’s raise a glass, two eyes in love
D7 Gm
‘Cause that is love and how it goes”
[Instrumental]
Gm Cm F7 Bb D/A Gm G Cm D Gm9
[Verse 3]
Cm6
And when my story’s over
Gm9 Gm Baug
And the final act is played
Cm6
Please don’t cry a tear
Gm9
Don’t place a flower where I lay
Cm6 Gm9
Just pour a little something and go and reminisce away
Adim D Eb/D D7
In honor of my memory, I hope to hear you say
[Chorus]
N.C. Gm Cm9
“Let’s raise a glass and drink to that
F7 Bb
Let’s sing a song, a song from the past
D/A Gm G Cm
Let’s raise a glass, two eyes in love
D7 Gm
You know the words so here we go!
Gm Cm9
La la la la, la la la la!
F7 Bb
La la la la, la la la la
D/A Gm Cm
La la la la, la la la la
D7 Gm
La la la la la la la la

La la la la, la la la la!

La la la la, la la la la
D/A Gm Cm
La la la la, la la la la
D7 Gm
La la la la la la la la
Cm9
La la la la, la la la la!
F7 Bb
La la la la, la la la la
D/A Gm Cm
La la la la, la la la la

La la la la la la la la
La la la la…”
