[D] [G]
[D] [F#m] [A]
[D] When I was small and Christmas [F#m] trees were tall
We [G] used to laugh [D] while others used [A] to play
Don't [D] ask me why the time [F#m] has passed us by
Someone [G] else [D] moved in from [A] far away
[G] Now we are tall and [D] Christmas trees are small
And [Em] you don't ask the time [D] of day
[G] But you and I [D] are dying, [Em] can't you cry?
[G] Come [D] closer
[A] [D] The apple trees that [F#m] grew for you and me
[G] I watched the [D] apples falling [A] one by one
And [D] I recall the [F#m] moment of them all
[G] The day I [D] kissed your cheek [A] and you were gone
Now [G] we are tall and [D] Christmas trees are small
And [Em] you don't ask the [D] time of day
[C] But [G] you and I [D] will never die, [Em] can't you cry?
[G] Come [D] first of May
When I was small [F#m] and Christmas trees were tall
[G] Do do do do [D] do do do [A] do do
Don't [Dm] ask me why [A] the time has passed us by
[G] Someone else moved in from far away
