G5                 D5          E5 
Seems like such a long time ago 
C5     G5        A5  C5  G5 
I was walking on lonely road 
G5                D5         E5 
Getting tired of dreamin' alone 
C5            G5           A5 C5   G5 
Like all the lonely people I  had known 
 
Seems like such a long time ago 

There was no-one who would share my song 

I was just a boy far from home 

And I became a man when you came along 
 

C5  C5       A5    A5     E5 
We spent the whole night talking 
    D5          C5       G5       D5   G5 
You said you'd like to see the sun rise 
C5   C5    A5   A5  E5 
But in the gold of morning 
                  D5      C5       G5       D5    G5 
There was nothing that I had not seen in your eyes 
E5   D5 
Hmmm 
 

C5          G5 
I was so afraid to touch you 
A5                    G5 
Thought you were too young to know 
C5                     C5        A5 E5 D5 
So I just watched you sleeping 
C5                 G5 
Then you woke and said to me 
    A5               G5 
The night is cold it frightens me 
C5                C5          A5 E5 D5 
I could sleep so easy next to you 
 
Wasn't very long ago 

You said that you would like to share my road 

Then you started singing my song 
 
You said so many nights are waiting 

Let's not spent a moment waisting time 

'Cause we have very far to go 

I will go if you will take me 

I have never had a lover 

I am young but I am so alone 
 
We spent the whole night talking 
(   ) 
But in the gold of morning 
(   ) 

E5 D5   D5  G5 
Hmmm ,  mmm mmm
