G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7 Am7 D7 C G C G D7 G Cmaj7 G Cmaj7. All through . Got a flask in my back pack , and the sandwiches are all made , one cheese and pickle and one egg mayonnaise , my bus pass at the ready , i'm gonna go for a long long ride , i'm living life in the bus lane , but I gotta be back by five. I'm going up to the city , Cambridge to be exact, gonna hang out by the riverside , try to get the memories back , it must have been fifty years ago, we met there in the rain, I never did forget you, I just forgot your name. I met you by the waters edge , you said it was your favourite place, and I recall how the sunlight put a glow around your face , We sat and talked for an hour , could possibly have been two, either way it seemed too soon when I said goodbye to you. Although we never did change numbers , in those days it was something we didn't do, and now I think of all the might have beens , and how I fell for the girl I never knew. I don't know why I still remember , just one of those things I suppose , was just a perchance meeting , well I guess that's how life goes. So here I stand by the waters edge , and now it is my favourite place , as the sunlight reflects on the ripples , I can almost see your face , and I wonder what you're doing now , I wonder if you are still alive fifty years is a long time , but I still have you on my mind. So i've Got a flask in my back pack , the sandwiches all made , one cheese and pickle and one egg mayonnaise , my bus pass at the ready , i'm gonna go for a long long ride , i'm living life in the bus lane , but I gotta be back by five. I've gotta be back by five.

Thank you Frank, very much appreciate the chords and lyrics. I'll be working to learn this one.

[@baxterthebush6512]

Frank,you are a beautiful singer.

[@TheDAl3l3LER]

It's amazing Nobody, how you are able to touch so many. I hope you get to share in some of the awesomeness that, reading for the comments, so many receive from you. It seems like such a simple thing, and it is, like my daughter said, not unkindly, she really enjoyed your On Melancholy Hill, "It's an old man playing guitar and singing"...she's a young teen...but in truth I've seen symphony orchestras playing Beethoven that haven't moved me as much as listening to your voice and guitar. Thank you for what you do.

[@FrankWatkinson]

Thank you.

[@MrWireguy]

Ahhh....the autumn of life....and all those sweet memories. Thank you for putting it all to song. Cheers !

Sweet serenity of your memories. Keep on keeping on. The world needs more rock stars like you❤

[@ozmaphase2]

Wow. What a beautifully written song. Lovely, memorable lyrics, just like the person you are singing about, I’m sure.

[@mossy_stones8477]

You are by far my favorite musician. I immediately looked you up on Spotify after hearing your song covers to listen to your other songs, and boy was I blown away. All of your songs are incredibly well done and beautiful, and i wish you all the best. 💕

[@FrankWatkinson]

Thank you.

[@121snapshots]

Another great song by a talented singer. Awesome frank keep push

[@XxGOTARxX]

“I never did forget you, I just forgot your name.” Yes, I’ve had this happen a few times in my 40+ years on this planet. Those memories come back from time to time and I too wonder, ‘what if’.

[@juliejarmer5849]

Just embrace what was and smile. Thanks Frank❤

Dear Frank , the song is brilliant ! About the one that got away that we never forget. I hope everyone has had a chance to be in that situation. It is called living. I hope to be as fluid and story like with my writing and songs as you are. Nice to hear an original of yours. I appreciate your style and approach to your music so very much Sir. Thank you for sharing ! Cheers !

I might be mistaken, but I think you need to be back by five to feed the dog. Seems he picks his ears up at every mention of food... In any case, this is a masterpiece, Franck!
