GThere once was Da time
CWhere nothing Freally mattered
EmTime didn't fly Amby so much
GBut now something Dis missing
Time has been flEmying by non stop
EmTime passes by without Ameven doing anything
GThere are some pDoints I wish,
CThat time wouldn't Fpass by so much
EmIt's just likDe yesterday
GI was riding my bike,
AWith you by my side
AmBut now I'm all alone
GThere will be one day
DWhere we reunite,
EmBut that won't Ambe for a while 
EmUnless time pAmasses by,
GQuicker than Dnormal
EmTime passes Amby
CEverybody has Fa dream
GSome of those dreams Dare to be with others
EmMy dream is to see Amyou once again
CThat smile, that lauFghter, that huge heart
