The Monkees — Carlisle Wheeling

C              Dm
In a long and involved conversation with myself
 F        Fm          C
I saw precious things come into view
C             Dm
When I poured through the files taken off my mental shelf
 F          Fm       C
I dusted off some memories of you
     Em           Am
Then I thought about the time when our affair was green
     Em          Am
How the phoenix of our love first flapped its silken wings
     F       G          C     Em   A
All the urgency and passion of each new day as it happened
   F       G         C
And how it all mellowed as it grew
