Story behind the song
As an exercise to write a two-chord song, this is what I came up with.
Lyrics
Time and Life. Life and Time [2023/12/07] Intro: [V] Time has taken its toll, left me stranded, alone. I'm still here, you're not there. Why were you taken, taken where? [V] Life. Can be so unkind. When it leaves someone behind. You meet, fall in love. To the one, you're forever thinking of. [C] For those who are gone, as far as I know. Now live in peace where no sickness flows. Those who are left on this earthly plain. Live with the loss and with the pain. Break: [V] Yet the living go on, see each sunset and greet every dawn, somehow get through every day, because life and time are that way. [C] For those who are gone, as far as I know. Now live in peace where no sickness flows. Those who are left on this earthly plain. Live with the loss and with the pain. Break: [B] Yet time and life allow for memories, through life and time your smiling face I see. Everywhere I look, and throughout my dreams. Time and life. Life and time return you to me. Break: [C] For those who are gone, as far as I know. Now live in peace where no sickness flows. Those who are left on this earthly plain. Live with the loss and with the pain.
