[D]
[Bm] [G]
I stand by the old farm where I danced [D] as a child.
Here I met my first love, then I felt like [G] the king of the evening.
But many birds have passed since the last laugh has [C] sounded.
[Em]
And outside [Em]
the trees [G] stand tall, [D] where often a kind of goal stands [G] on the screen.
[B]
[C] But if I close [G] my eyes [D] and remember the time that [G] once was,
[A] [C] then it stands again in [G] front of me.
[A] And once again I see dancing [D] couples,
[G] must well up a staircase.
But the charm still [D] remains, although the window hangs a little crooked,
and the wind through the door [G] draws.
Its worthiness it has retained through the years that [C] have passed.
It may still be [Em] standing there [G] and waiting [D] to get color on which [G] gray.
But [Em] if I close [G] my eyes and [D] remember the time that once [G] was,
[B] then [Em] it stands again in [G] front of me.
[A] And once again I see dancing [D] couples in [G] the shadow of the old farm.
Many promises of love [D] were made, and surely many tears fell,
as always when love is given [G] and taken.
But nothing here in life is forever, and I have also become older,
[C]
with wrinkled skin and gray hair.
[G]
[D] That's how it is, it's just the [G] law of time.
[C] But if I close [G] my eyes and [D] remember the time that once [G] was,
[Bm] then [C] it stands again [Em] in front [G] of me.
[D] And once again I see dancing [G] couples.
[D] And once again I see dancing [G] couples.
