[D]
[F#m]
[D]
[D] I took my chances on [F#m] a one-way ticket home
[Em] Growing tired of strangers [Gm] and the kind of life I'd known
Thought [D] the time for settling
[F#m] down had come [A] at last
Guess I [D] hoped to find [F#m] a future in [A] my past
[D] Walk with me, darling, where [F#m] the wheat fields used to be
[Em] I will tell you stories of [Gm] my times across the sea
[D] You're the legendary
[F#m] girl I left [A] behind
[D] Can't begin to count [F#m] the times you crossed [A] my mind
And [B]
oh, you children, [G#] why the youngest looks just like you
[Em] She's a picture of a mother, [Gm] but there'll never be another quite [D] like you
[F#m] [Em] You're an angel and a [Bm] time that I [D] don't know
[F#m] anymore
[Em] So
[A] goodnight, I'll take [D] my memories [F#m] to bed
[Em] You know that I'll [A] be waking up [D] alone
I
[F#m]
[D]
should have noticed that the years were slipping by
[G] Still you're just as lovely [Gm] as the day we said [A] goodbye
[D] Like an old familiar [F#m] poem that still [A] won't rhyme
I [D] could get back to [F#m] the place, but not [A] the time
[B] And oh, you children, why [G#] the youngest looks just [G#] like you
[Em] She's a picture of a mother, but [Gm] there'll never be another quite [D] like you
[F#m]
[Em] You're an angel [A] and a time that I [D] don't know [F#m]
anymore
[Em] [G] So goodnight, [A] I'll take [D] my memories [F#m] to bed
[Em] You know [G] that I'll be waking up [D] alone
