[Verse 1]
Em                     Em7
Simona, you're getting older
               C
your journey's been
               G    D
etched on your skin
Em                 Em7
Simona, wish I had known that
              C
what seems so strong
             D  B7
has been and gone
[Chorus]
   Em
I would call you up every Saturday night
         Em7
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
         C                G     D
And we sang, "Here we go again"
            Em
And though time goes by
I will always be

The rain has gone
Em

             Em7
I guess it's over
            C
My memory plays our tune
             D   B7
The same old song
[Chorus]
   Em
I would call you up every Saturday night
         Em7
And we'd both stay out 'til the morning light
