Intro: G  D  A7  D 


 
                   Am7     D7   G 
No matter how many times I look 
                  D 
That mirror never lies 
            Bm7          E7 
I never did get over you 
                      Em7      A7 D 
And the memories just won't die 
                    Am7 D7       G 
There's no pictures on  the wall 
                       E7 
'Cause I'd see you in every frame 
 

 
G      D                  A7 
 If I ever write the book 
                  D 
I'll speak kindly of your name 
 

 
D                        Am7         D7 G 
When I watched those six white horses 
           D 
Carry you away 
                   Bm7 
Oh, I wanted to go with you 
        E7                 Em7    A7 D 
But the children needed me to stay 
       Am7         D7 G 
We all have a story 
                  E7 
And mine has seen some rain 
 

 
G      D                  A7

                  D 
I'll speak kindly of your name 
 

 
Am                          G 
There'll be a chapter 'bout your summer dress 
Am                    G 
Blowing gently in the breeze 
Bm                       A 
I'll tell the part about the day we met 
Bm7               A 
And the night you married me 
D                      Am7       D7 G 
 This place I hold you in my heart 
              E7 
Forever burns a flame
