Am
I love the sun
  Gm
I love the sea
Am
I'd like to think that you
   Gm
Were here with me

But people are seasons
And seasons change
I'd like to think that you
Are still the same

Chorus:
F
Sometimes you made me happy
Gm
Sometimes you made me cry
Am
But the memory of a good friend
A      Dm Gm C
Never dies
         Dm                    Gm C
But the memory of a good friend
       Dm
Never dies

Between the lines
Of an aging face
Something special
That you can't replace

Chorus:
Sometimes you made me happy
Sometimes you made me cry
But the memory of a good friend
Never dies
But the memory of a good friend
memory of a good friend
Never dies
But the memory of a good friend

Dm
And I see you standing
By the harbour wall
Gm
And I see you waving
          C
From the aeroplane
 Dm
Two hearts together
 Gm              C
Laughing in the rain

But the memory of a good friend
Never dies
But the memory of a good friend
But the memory of a good friend
But the memory of a good friend
But the memory of a good friend
Never dies
