Since that sad season when in separate ways | B |
Our paths diverged There are no more such days | B |

Not quite the same in life since we two parted | E |
Knowing it best to go our ways alone | F |
Fair measures of success we both have known | F |
And pleasant hours and yet something departed | E |
Which gold nor fame nor anything we win | G |
Can all replace And either life has been | G |
Not quite the same | D |

Love is not quite the same although each heart | H |
Has formed new ties that are both sweet and true | I |
But that wild rapture which of old we knew | I |
Seems to have been a something set apart | H |
With that lost dream There is no passion now | J |
Mixed with this later love which seems somehow | J |
Not quite the same | D |

Not quite the same am I My inner being | K |
Reasons and knows that all is for the best | L |
Yet vague regrets stir always in my breast | L |
As my souls eyes turn sadly backward seeing | K |
The vanished self that evermore must be | A |
This side of what we call eternity | A |
Not quite the same | D |
