   Em                           Am                          Em
   The choice was mine and mine completely,
                 C              D                 Am
    I could have any prize that I desired.
                Em                    C                      G          Bb
    I could burn with the splendour of the brightest fire,
         C           Cm                          Em
    or else - or else I could choose time.
 
          Em       - Am                     Em
2. Remember           I was very young then,
                C              D                 Am
    and a year was forever and a day.
                  Em            C              G          Bb
    So what use could fifty, sixty, seventy be?
        C                       Cm                 Em
    I saw the lights and I was on my way.
 
             Bb             - Em                    Bb
    And how I lived!           How they shone !
                    C                    - Em
    But how soon the lights           were gone!
