ASHOKAN FAREWELL
Words by Grian MacGregor
Music by Jay Ungar
[Verse 1]
C C7 F Dm
The sun is sinking low in the sky above Ashokan.
C Am F G
The pines and the willows know soon we will part.
C C7 F Dm
There’s a whisper in the wind of promises unspoken,
C Am G7 C
And a love that will always remain in my heart.
C C7 F C
My thoughts will return to the sound of your laughter,
Am G7
The magic of moving as one,
C C7 F C
And a time we’ll remember long ever after
Am G7 C
The moonlight and music and dancing are done.
[Verse 2]
C C7 F Dm
Will we climb the hill once more? Will we walk the woods together?
C Am F G
Will I feel you holding me close once again?
C C7 F Dm
Will every song stay with us forever?
C Am G7 C
Will you dance in my dreams or my arms until then?
C C7 F C
Under the moon the mountains lie sleeping
Am G7
Over the lake the stars shine.
C C7 F C
They wonder if you and I will be keeping
Am G7 C
The magic and music, or leave them behind.
