[Verse 1]
D F#m
I took my chances on a one way ticket home
Em Gm
Growing tired of strangers and the kind of life I'd known
D F#m A
Thought the time for settling down had come at last
D F#m A
Guess I hoped to find my future in the past
D F#m
Walk me with me darling where the wheat fields used to be
Em Gm
I will tell you stories of my times across the sea
D F#m A
You're the legenday girl I left behind
D F#m A
Can't begin to count the times you crossed my mind
[Chorus]
B D#m G#
And oh, your children, well the youngest looks just like you
Em
She's a picture of her mother
Gm
But there'll never be another
D F#m
Quite like you
G A D F#m
You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore
Em A D F#m
So good night, I'll take my memories to bed
Em A D F#m D
You know that be I'll waking up alone
[Verse 2]
D F#m
I should have noticed that the years were slipping by
Em Gm
Still you're just as lovely as the day we said goodbye
D F#m A
Like an old familiar poem that just won't rhyme
D F#m A
I could get back to the place but not the time
[Chorus]
B D#m G#
And oh, your children, well the youngest looks just like you
Em
She's a picture of her mother
Gm
But there'll never be another
D F#m
Quite like you
G A D F#m
You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore
Em A D F#m
So good night, I'll take my memories to bed
Em A D F#m
You know that I'll be waking up alone... For you
G A D F#m
You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore
Em A D F#m
So good night, I'll take my memories to bed
Em A D A F#m
You know that I'll be waking up alone... For you
