Verse 1
G C Dm F
The last time I saw her face
G G7 G G7 C
Her eyes were bathed in starlight and her hair hung long
G C Dm F
The last time she spoke to me
G G7 G G7 C Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 F
Her lips were like the scented flowers inside a rain-drenched forest
Bridge
F G7 F C
But that was so long ago that I can scarcely feel
Dm F G G7 C
The way I felt before and if time could heal the wounds
Cmaj7 C F C Dm G7
I would tear the threads away that I might bleed some more
Verse 2
C Cmaj7 Dm F
The last time I walked with her
G7 G F G
Her laughter was the steeple bells that rang to greet the morning sun
F G F G7
A voice that called to everyone to love the ground we walked upon
C Cmaj7 F G G7 C Cmaj7
Those were her good days
Verse 3
C Cmaj7 G F Dm
The last time I held her hand
G G7 C
Her touch was autumn spring and summer and winter too
Cmaj7 C F
The last time I let go of her
G G7 F G
she walked away into the night I lost her in the misty streets
F G F G
A thousand months a thousand years when other lips will kiss her eyes
F G G7 C
A million miles beyond the moon that's where she is
Verse 4
Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 F Dm
The last time I saw her face
G G7 C
Her eyes were bathed in sadness and she walked alone
F
The last time she kissed my cheek
G G7 F G
Her lips were like the wilted leaves upon the autumn covered hills
F G F G
Resting on the frozen ground the seeds of love lie cold and still
F G7 C Cmaj7 F Fm C
Beneath a battered marking stone it lies forgotten
