[Intro]
Bm A
[Verse 1]
A
I look at these old letters
A
And postcards from the places
E
Where we've been
E
From the little towns
E
On the railway lines
E
And all the friendly homes
A
That we've been in
A
And the whispers of the people
A
In the towns
A
When we'd been there
E
And they knew
E
Yes, I remember all these things
A
Mostly I remember loving you
[Chorus]
D
I remember loving you
A
Back when the world was new
E7
And I think you loved me too
A
I remember loving you
[Verse 2]
A
That laurel smell
A
That we knew so well
A
When you'd hold me in your arms
E
All in the rain
E
That night I came
E
From a west-bound train
E
You were passing through
A
You said you couldn't stay
A
Just an hour we shared
A
And you said you cared
A
But you'd come again
E
The next time you were through
E
Yes, I remember all these things
A
But mostly I remember loving you
[Chorus]
D
I remember loving you
A
Back when the world was new
E7
And I think you loved me too
A
I remember loving you
[Instrumental]
A E A E C#m Bm A
[Verse 3]
A
When the north wind blows
A
And I'm lying cold
A
In the bed and I can't sleep
E
With thoughts of you
E
And you're off
E
Somewhere in a lonesome town
E
So far away
A
That I can't get to you
A
Close by your side
A
Everywhere you ride
A
You're with me
E
In everything I do
E
Yes, I remember all these things
A
But mostly I remember loving you
[Chorus]
D
I remember loving you
A
Back when the world was new
E7
And I think you loved me too
A
I remember loving you
[Chorus]

I remember loving you

Back when the world was new

And I think you loved me too
