[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, but time [F#m] has passed us by
[G] Someone 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
But
[G] you and I [D] will never die
[Em] The castle cloud [D] covers the night
[A]
[D] The apple tree that [F#m] grew for you and me
[G] I watched the [D] apples falling one [A] by one
And [D] I recall the [F#m] moment of them all
The
[G] 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
But [C]
[G] you and I will [D]
never die
[Em] The castle [G] cloud covers [D] the night
When I was small [F#m] and Christmas trees were tall
[G]
[D]
[A] Don't
[C#] ask me why, [A]
but time has passed us by
[D#] Someone [G] else moved in from far away
