[Verse 1]
D F#m/C#
When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
G D A
We used to love while others used to play
D F#m/C#
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
G D A
Someone else moved in from far away
G D
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
Em7 D D7
And you don't ask the time of day
G D
But you and I, our love will never die
Em7 G G/A D A
But guess who'll cry come First of May
[Verse 2]
D F#m/C#
The apple tree that grew for you and me
G D A
I watched the apples falling one by one
D F#m/C#
And I recall the moment of them all
G D A
The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone
G D
Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
Em7 D D7
And you don't ask the time of day
G D
But you and I, our love will never die
Em7 G G/A D
But guess who'll cry come First of May
[Coda]
D F#m/C#
When I was small ... and Christmas trees were tall
G D A
Do-do-do-do-do do-do-do do-do
N.C.
Don't ask me why
N.C.
But time has passed us by
N.C.
Someone else moved in
N.C.
From far away [fade]
