lyrics from reprint of 1966 sheet music
G
Though you've played at love and lost
And sorrow's turned your heart to frost
C
I will melt
G
Your heart again
Remember the feeling as a child
When you woke up and morning smiled?
C G
It's time you felt like you did then
G F G F
There's just no percentage in remembering the past
G F Em
It's time you learned to live again at last
G Am7 G Am7 G Am7 G Am7
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
G Am7 G Am7 G
And take a giant step outside your mind
G
You stare at me in disbelief
And say for you there's no relief
C
But I swear
G
I'll prove you wrong
Don't stay here in your lonely room
Just looking back in silent gloom
C
That's not where
G
You belong
G F G
Come with me, I'll take you where the taste of life is green
G F Em
And ev'ry day holds wonders to be seen
G Am7 G Am7 G Am7 G Am7
Come with me, leave yesterday behind
G Am7 G Am7 G
And take a giant step outside your mind
