23 years ago, God had a dream
        D
That a girl with brown eyes would come to me.
           E                     A
And she'd say, "Let's go away together."

 
A
She talked of L.A., sure the weather is nice,
        D
But I joked, "What about Iowa?"
           E                      A
And she laughed. Our happily ever after.

 
D
Amame?
E           A
Perhaps you do.
D
Amame?
E      A
I love you.
D
Amame?
E               F#m          
We'd be perfect together.
D      E
Amame? Amame?
                           A
You know, I could love you forever.

 
A
Well, months had gone by, and I struggled you see.
          D
Because those brown eyes weren't looking at me.
         E                                       A
But I stayed and tried to put our hearts back together.

 
A                    
I'd go every night, just to sing her to sleep.
           D
And bring her, her favorite things during the week.
      E                               A
Oh I tried! I couldn't have done any better.

 
D
Amame?
E           A
Perhaps you do.
D
Amame?
E      A
I love you.
D
Amame?
E                  F#m
We'd be perfect together.
D      E
Amame? Amame?
                             A
You know, I will love you forever.

 
D      E                      A
Oooo. Please don't forget me now.
D      E                      A
Oooo. You know somewhere, somehow, we could be.
E                              F#m
Oooo. You know, I'll always remember,
        D             E           A
You and me, and when we loved together.

 
D
Amame?
E           A
Perhaps you do.
D
Amame?
E               A
You know I love you.
D
Amame?
E                           F#m
You know we'd be perfect together.
D      E
Amame? Amame?
                              A
You know, I could love you forever.
