[F#m] [A] [D]
When I was small and [F#m] Christmas trees were tall
We [G]
used to laugh [D] while others used [A] to play Don't
[D] ask me why, but time has [F#m] passed us by
[G] Someone else [D] moved in from far [A] away
Now
[G] we are tall and Christmas [D] trees are small
And
[Em] you don't ask the time [D] of day
[G] But you and I [D] will never die
The [Em] glass of wine [G] covers [D] the [A] grave
[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 moment [F#m] of them all
The
[G] day I [D] kissed your cheek and [A] you were gone
[G] Now we are tall and Christmas [D] trees are small
And [Em]
you don't ask the [D] time of day
[G] But you and I [D] will never die
[Em] The glass of [G] wine [D] covers the grave
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
[D] ask me [A] why, but [E] time has [A] passed us by
[G] Someone else moved in
