A
Funny thing about this little heart of mine, all the ways that it can say.

Longer than forever, till the end of time, no matter, baby, come what may.
D                                                                        A
Look at me now, sitting all by myself, face another sleepless night all alone.
E                                               A
All I look forward to is lying here living this song.


               E                   A       
I can't escape thinking every day about you, 
             E                             A
Can't escape wishing, dear, you were still mine,
             E                      A
Can't escape thinking maybe I still love you, 
             E                         A-Lick-1   A-Lick-2
Can't escape caring for you all of the time.

Listen to the music on the radio, top forty hits of yesterday.
Leaving on a Jet Plane, Blowin' in the Wind, The Silly Games That People Play.
Each of them carries your memory still, I can still see that look in your eyes.
The one that preceded your kisses and followed your sighs.

I can't escape thinking every day about you,
Can't escape wishing, dear, you were still mine,
Can't escape thinking maybe I still love you,

             E                         A-Lick-1
Can't escape caring for you all of the time.


Bm                                      A    
Every rain in the morning reminds me of you.
Bm                    Bm7/A
Every night when it's cold outside,
G                 E           A
Every time that I ache inside.


A

Sometimes I wish it was ten years ago, we were starting all over again.
Yet the way that I feel is much more than just remembering when.

I can't escape thinking every day about you,
Can't escape wishing, dear, you were still mine,
Can't escape thinking maybe I still love you,

             E                         A-Lick-1
Can't escape caring for you all of the time.
           A-Lick-1
All of the time. 
           A-Lick-1   A
All of the time.

(Words and music by John Denver, 1986)
