We made Seattle come alive, a feeling that would last through time
        Abm            C#            F#m                 B
   I'll probably never see her but I wish that she were near because
            Em             A                 Dm       G
       I'd really like to hear some things about her life



   Cm             F      Bb       Bbm            Eb7        Ab
We barely made a half a year, but memories are strong and clear
      Abm              C#                F#m               B
   of feeling for the first time that my heart was fairly bursting
               Em                A               Dm        G
       and my soul was full of thirsting just to hold her near



  F      G                C               Am
     and if I would have pushed a little harder maybe
  F                  G              C             Am
     we could have stayed together just a little longer and we
      F                     G               C     E7     Am
     might have found out whether it could last through time
             Dm7                      G
        like nothing ever after ever did



   Cm          F              Bb      Bbm             Eb7          Ab
I should have learned how to heal, I thought I wanted just not to feel
       Abm          C#          F#m           B
   and partly I succeeded but I never knew I needed things
           Em               A               Dm                 G
       my heart inside me pleaded with me please to make them real

     it's over thirty years now and I still think about it though my
      F              G                 C           Am
     living took my mind off that for decades at a time
         F                 G             C     E7      Am
     it may have not been paradise but still I wish I knew
              Dm7                                   G
        cause something deep inside her touched my mind



   Cm               F      Bb     Bbm              Eb7         Ab
My life is rich in so many ways, blessings come in most of my days
   Abm            C#              F#m               B
   just for one example there are two who call me grandpa now and
      Em               A            Dm                G
       I could not be happier when they come out to play

        Abm         C#        F#m           B
   but sometimes I wonder how life is for another
           Em                A             Dm        G
       and if she thinks of someone who is far far away
