B4 : X24452 E When first I met you years ago A E in another time and place a thought came to my mind A E I'd never seen a kinder face C#m or warmer laugh and gentler smile A B B4 B or eyes so full of light E I'd be a fool if I didn't fall A E in love with you that night We've tramped around the world my dear A E our fortune was to roam but each place that I've been with you A E that place has been my home C#m if now I wander on alone A B B4 B with no place to abide E I'll be content for I was sent A E those wanderings at your side Love that blossoms in the night A E can't stand the test of time it ebbs and flows it comes and goes A E no reason reach nor rhyme C#m as each day becomes another day A B B4 B each year another year E I'd trade a year in heaven A E for a day with you my dear The miles flow on and I am gone A E to a wild and empty land where time's like an empty room A E and space an empty hand C#m and the things we said and the jokes we made A B B4 B are echoes in the waste E we'll meet again when hills are green A E in another time and place
