Lady time      fly away
C5   Eb5   D5  D5  Bb5      C5     A5   G5  C5  F5
I've been thinking 'bout my yesterday
    F5             C5          G5        D5
Oh, please listen darlin' to my empty prayers
A5      C5              D5
Sleep inside my dreams tonight
A5    C5       D5               A5         G5    D5
All I need to know tonight are you and my child

    F5       C5          G5       D5
Oh, is he a soldier or is he a dreamer?
A5    C5             D5
Is he mama's little man?
A5           C5           D5
Does he help you when he can?
A5         G5        D5
Or does he ask about me?

F5           C5                  G5            D5
Just like a soldier boy I been out fighting wars
A5             C5     D5
That the world never knows about
A5    C5     D5
But I never win them loud
A5                G5     D5
There's no crowds around me

F5                 C5         G5            D5
But when I get to thinkin' about the old days
A5            C5       D5
When love was here to stay
A5          C5    D5
I wonder if we'd ever tried
A5           G5      D5   C5   D5
Oh, what I'd give to hold him
