Have the Good Times Gone Away?
                        By Tom Vance

Key of C

     C                                Am                                 Dm                        G

 1.

Awaken from your sleep my love, the night is almost past.

(male)

          C                         Am                                 Dm                    G
The dawn is but a short ways off, the time is going fast.
     C                                    Am                   Dm                     G
In just an hour I値l be on my way, riding on the plane.
           C                                  Am                        Dm                    G
Your goodbye kiss will linger, and I値l cry in all my pain.
                    F                                  G                          F                                 C  

Chorus

Have the good times gone away? Are the sad times here to stay?

 

    F                         G                                                                                  C
Will I see you again my love, and sing you my songs one day?

2.

 So hold me close the rest of the night, and kiss away my fears,

(female)

For soon you must be leaving me, amid all our tears,
To take the last plane to the end of the earth, as far as I can tell,
I can hardly stand to let you leave, as I feel the loneliness swell.

(both)

Chorus

(male) 3.

Often I致e had to leave you dear, standing in the rain.
And often I致e had to follow my dream, even if it brings such pain.

(female)

But each time it seems you値l never return, each time it hurts a little more,
I just hope you値l be back again, to kiss me at my door.

                    F                                  G                          F                                 C

Chorus

Have the good times gone away? Are the sad times here to stay?

(both)

    F                         G                                                                                  C

Will I see you again my love, and sing you my songs one day?

             F                                            G                                                                    C
If the good times have gone away, and the sad times are here to stay,
            F                                  G                                                      C
Then all my words will wither, and my last song I値l play.
