DI wish you could live every day the sBmame way twice
You’d Gget a second chance to remember, oh yDes you would

That Gway you could laugh or cry, or whatever you wDanted to...
But you'd remember....
[Chorus]
BmDiane, Gdo the best you can
Oh, ADiBmane lGets me hold her hand 
We Bmreminisce about her Apast  
Same Gstories turning over and Dover 
And rBmight when I don't think it will lAast 
Her lGaugh keeps pulling me cDloser 
Oh DAiane, do the bGest that you cDan
[Verse 2]
Why dDoes the mind sometimes trick itself Bmso well
One mGoment you remember, then the next Dnot so well
And why cDan't the heart just help you Bmhold onto 
GAll those moments that mean so much to Dme and you...
It's ok, it’s okay...

Oh, ADiane did the Gbest that you Dcan

Oh, ADiBmane lGets me hold her hand 
We Bmreminisce about her Apast  
Same Gstories turning over and Dover 
And rBmight when I don't think it will laAst 
Her lGaugh keeps pulling me cDloser 
Her eGyes keep pulling me clDoser
Her sGmile keeps pulling me cDloser
Her hGeart keeps pulling me cDloser
Oh, DAiane did the bGest that you cDan
[Outro]
