Intro: G-D
GLooking out my window
See you playing in the leaves
It's amaziEmng how a little girl

When I tell Dyou that I love you

I gotta take your picture
HoDld on to the memory before the Amwhole thing sDlips awaGy
Chorus:
*D              G
I wish I could save these moments
And put 'em in a jar
