[C]
It was a day in that blue month September, [F] silent beneath the plum trees' slender [C] shade.
I held [Am] her there, my love [Dm] so pale and silent, [G] as if she were a dream that must not [C] fade.
Above [F] us in the shining summer [C] heaven, there [Am] was a [Em] cloud my [Bm] [Dm] eyes [B] dwelt long upon.
It [G] was quite white and very [Dm] high above us.
Then I looked [G] up and found that it had gone.
[C] And since that day so many moons in silence have [F] swum across the sky and [C] gone below.
The [Am] plum trees surely have been chopped for [Dm]
firewood.
And if [G] you ask, how does that love [C] seem now?
I must [F] admit, I really can't [C] remember.
And [Em] yet I know what you are [G] trying to say, that what your face was like, I know [F] no longer.
I only [G] know I kissed it [C] on that day.
As for the kiss, I long ago forgot it.
[F] But for the cloud that floated in [C] the sky,
[Am] I know that still and shall [Dm] forever know it.
It was [G] quite white and moved in very [C] high.
It [F] may be that the plum trees still [C] are blooming.
That [Em] woman's seventh child may now be [G] there.
And yet that cloud had only [Dm] bloomed for minutes.
When I looked [G] up, it [N] vanished
