B5 : X24452

E5
When first I met you years ago 
    A5               E5
in another time and place 

a thought came to my mind
          A5             E5 
I'd never seen a kinder face
   C#5 
or warmer laugh and gentler smile 
   A5               B5     B5 B5
or eyes so full of light
    E5 
I'd be a fool if I didn't fall 
   A5                  E5
in love with you that night


We've tramped around the world my dear 
    A5              E5
our fortune was to roam 

but each place that I've been with you 
     A5                 E5
that place has been my home
   C#5 
if now I wander on alone 
     A5            B5    B5 B5
with no place to abide 
     E5
I'll be content for I was sent 
      A5                  E5
those wanderings at your side


Love that blossoms in the night 
      A5                 E5
can't stand the test of time 

it ebbs and flows it comes and goes 
   A5                E5
no reason reach nor rhyme
   C#5 
as each day becomes another day 
     A5            B5    B5 B5
each year another year
    E5 
I'd trade a year in heaven 
      A5               E5
for a day with you my dear


The miles flow on and I am gone 
     A5              E5
to a wild and empty land 

where time's like an empty room 
    A5              E5
and space an empty hand
        C#5
and the things we said and the jokes we made 
    A5             B5     B5 B5
are echoes in the waste 
      E5
we'll meet again when hills are green 
    A5               E5
in another time and place
