Hi everyone, this is my first tab, so sorry if there is some mistakes.
I saw Porco Rosso by Studio Ghibli and I love this track composed by Joe Hisaishi.
Then I listened to an english version of the song on youtube (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpvJySCN9j8 ) by Helen Edgeworth and I wanted to
play and sing it by myself, but
there weren't no tab. I don't think it's the same as the original, I've transcribed
most of it by ear.
Original music: © Tokiko Kato 1992
English lyrics: © Helen Edgeworth 2014

Hope you'll like it!
Once in a while, when you have time, let's talk of days that have gone by,
At the old café where you and I used to go.
Look at the trees, losing their leaves;
Summer will fade, and so will we
But I won't forget all of the memories that we made.
We'd spend our days at the café,
Watching the world, seeing it change,
"We'll stay the same," we used to say,
We used to say.
Back when we had dreams and hopes,
Life didn't seem such an uphill slope,
How much there was that we still didn't know.
Isn't that so?
Out on the road, nowhere to go, you were the place that I called home,
Because with you, I knew I'd never be alone.
People move on, soon they are gone,
But I was sure that you were the one
Who'd never leave; who'd've believed I'd be so wrong?
You went away, I chose to stay,
Now not a trace of you remains
Except for the picture of your face
You tried to erase.
You took all my dreams and hopes,
And now life's just an uphill slope,
But I know that I must try to cope on my own.
Isn't that so?
Once in a while, when you have time, let's talk of days that have gone by,
At the old café where you and I used to go.
All of the trees have lost their leaves,
Summer has faded just like me;
I'll always regret the memories that we never made.
My body has aged, my hair has turned grey,
But something inside has still stayed the same,
"I love you," I'd say, and that hasn't changed,
That will not change.
When my life gets too much to bear,
And I am weighed down by despair,
I try to tell myself that you still care,
Somewhere out there.
