Riff to E

A                     Fm7
There are places I'll remember
       Bm  Dm       A
All my life, though some have changed
A                     Fm7
Some forever, not for better
          Bm  Dm   A 
Some have gone and some remain
          Fm7               Bm
All these places have their moments
     D                    A
With lovers and friends I still can recall
         Fm7               Bm      
Some are dead and some are living
   D  Dm         A
In my life, I've loved them all

Riff to E

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more

Riff to E
   Dm                   A
In my life-- I love you more
