[Am] Somewhere in the world [G]
Are [D] friends I've missed from so long [Am] ago [F] [Am]
[C] Could be drifting by the wayside [D]
Or even dead, I just don't [Am] know
[Em] And now my memories are fading [D]
Like melting [Am] footprints in the snow. [F] [G] [Am] [Em]

[Am] Sometimes a dream will haunt me [G]
And [D] I see a young girl's [Am] face [F] [Am]
[C] Was she once for real [D]
And did she really share my [Am] space
[Em] Within the swirling mists of time [D]
It's hard to keep track of year and [Am] place. [F] [G] [Am] [Em]

[Am] You know, I thought about my mother [G]
[D] When she was young, and on the [Am] road [F] [Am]
[C] Hanging out with my musicians [D]
Or camping out in forest [Am] groves
[Em] Like gray mists conceal horizons [D]
I miss those times we'll [Am] share no morel.

[Am] So far, my life's a journey [G]
And I [D] wouldn't change for [Am] anything [F] [Am]
[C] All those years of bold adventures [D]
The highs and lows that make me [Am] sing
[Em] Within the swirling mists of time [D]
Such sweet memories [Am] still often ring.
