[Verse 1]
G
In earlier days there was plenty of time just to play the field.
C G
Played the cards as they fell, fell in love with her as she dealed.
Em C G D
Never thought those days would pass and I’d be growing old.
Em C G D G
Never thought I’d go looking for shelter from the cold, from the cold
[Verse 2]
G
Sometimes I’d pick the wrong side I wouldn’t call that a mistake.
C G
Winning some and losing some you can’t always get the breaks.
Em C G D
Never thought I’d look so far back to what seems like yesterday.
Em C G D G
Never thought those youthful days would ever slip away slip away
[Verse 3]
G
Used to wonder if I’d find someone and raise a family.
C G
No that didn’t happen I guess it wasn’t meant to be.
Em C G D
Never thought, that I’d conclude it’s really not too bad.
Em C G D G
I never thought about it for long, can’t miss what you never had, never had
[Verse 4]
G
Then one day in an unexpected way, I ran into you.
C G
I didn’t wonder if you were right for me it was something I already knew.
Em C G D
Never thought that necessarily we would go this far.
Em C G D G
Never thought you’d still be by my side like a shining star, shining star.
[Chorus]
Em C
Now I can see your smiling eyes where ever we call home.
G D
I can see your smiling eyes when I find myself alone.
Em C
I can feel those smiling eyes as you wrap your arms around me.
G D G
I can see your smiling eyes when we kiss at the lucky tree
