  E                    F#m/E           EM7    F#m/E
 Across the evening sky, all the birds are leaving.
 E                    F#m/E                  EM7 A/E
 But how can they know it's time for them to go?
 F#m               G#m  Am               G#m      A
 Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
                      E
 I have no thought of time,
     B                   A
 For who knows where the time goes?
 E                   F#m  A
 Who knows where the time goes?

 E                   F#m/E                EM7    F#m/E
 Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving.
 E                    F#m/E                  EM7 A/E
 Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go.
 F#m                 G#m Am                     G#m     A
 But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving.
                    E
 I do not count the time,
     B                   A
 For who knows where the time goes?
 E                   F#m  A
 Who knows where the time goes?

 E                 F#m/E     EM7          F#m/E
 And I am not alone while my love is near me.
 E                    F#m/E            EM7   A/E
 I know it will be so, until it's time to go.
 F#m                 G#m    Am                      G#m          A
 So come the storms of winter and then the birds in spring again,
                   E
 I have no fear of time,
     B                A
 For who knows how my love grows?
     E                   F#m  A
 And who knows where the time goes?
