G Am D
How sad, how lovely,
G Am D
how short, how sweet,
Am D
to see that sunset
G Em G
at the end of the street.
Am Bm
And the day gathered in
Am G
to a single light,
C G
and the shadows rising
Am D G
from the brim of the night.
Em Am
Too few, too few,
G Am
are the days that will hold
Em Am
your face, your face
Em Am ------ D
in a blaze of gold.
G Am D
How sad, how lovely,
G Am D
how short, how sweet,
Am D
to see that sunset
G Em G
at the end of the street.
Am Bm
And the lights going on
Am G
in the shops and the bars,
C G
and the lovers looking
Am D G
for the first little stars.
Am Em
Like life, like a smile,
Am D
like the fall of a leaf,
G Am
how sad, how lovely,
G C G
how brief.
