       C                                  Early morning by the riverside,
        AmSaw an old man waiting for a bite,
F                                         DmWe started talking and he took me back in time.

CI see the tears of a young bride
Dm                             FThe morning that we had our first fight.

             F                                    DmThere's just something about you that reminds me of me.

         CIt ain't easy always looking back,
      AmBut it seems these days that it's all I have.
     FWhat hurts me the most is knowing what could have been,
         DmAnd if I listen real close sometimes I can

Chorus
CHear the sound of my little boy
Dm                                         FSaying, daddy can you please come play with me?
              GBut I was too busy.
               CThen one day, my baby grew up and went to war.
Dm                                             FI never thought he'd be gone in the blink of an eye.

                      Dm                I shook the old man's hand and I thanked him.
            C                    FAnd I drove home as fast as I could go.
                BbJust to let her know...

CThat I need her,
       AmThat I love her,
         F                                        DmThat I'm never gonna let another moment like this slip on by.

CWe're only here for a little while,
Dm                           FAnd God gives us only so much precious time.

So don't let it slip on,
