Tom: C

INTRO: C  F   (4x) C

  
I was hers and you were his 
The night we met out on that bridge 
You knew then, what I know now 
                                F      C
That love put down, gets up somehow 


          F    C
The comet came, the comet went 
            F   C
And hid its face in the firmament 
         F    C
I looked once, then turned away 
               F           C       F     G
When I looked again, it was much too late  


CHORUS:
              Am        F      C
A summer wind, a cotton dress 
        F       Am         F    G
This is how I remember you best 
                        Am  F        C
A glance held long and a stolen kiss 
        F       Am F       C
This is how I remember you best 


INTERLUDE: C  F   (4x) C


           F   C        
The fool I was, is the fool I am 
      F    C
Got a wife, I'm a family man 
       F  C  
When I lay in our bed 
            F                 C      F    G
I sometimes dream, I'm holding you instead 


CHORUS:
              Am        F      C
A summer wind, a cotton dress 
        F       Am         F    G
This is how I remember you best 
                        Am  F        C
A glance held long and a stolen kiss 
        F       Am F       C
This is how I remember you best 


INSTRUMENTAL: C       F  C  F  C  F  C



The kids are fine 
They're six and nine 
                               F    C
I think you'd probably like my wife 
            F    C           
The kitchen light is much too bright 
           F          C           F    G
For what I find myself thinking tonight 


CHORUS:
              Am        F      C
A summer wind, a cotton dress 
        F       Am         F    G
This is how I remember you best 
                        Am  F        C
A glance held long and a stolen kiss 
        F       Am F       C
This is how I remember you best 
        F       Am F       C
This is how I remember you best 
        F       Am F       C
This is how I remember you best
