G D Em D Seems like such a long time ago
C G D C G I was walking down a lonely road
G D Em D Getting tired of dreaming alone
C G D C Like all the lonely people I had
G known
G D Em D Seems like such a long time ago
C G D There was no-one who would share
C G my song
G D Em D I was just a boy far from home
C G D C But I became a man when you came
G along
C G Am G Em We spent the whole night talking
G C Em D7 You said you'd like to see the sun
G rise
Continues after the ad
C Am G Em But in the gold of morning
G C There was nothing that I had not
Em D7 G seen in your eyes
D Em D Hmm Hmm
C G I was so afraid to touch you
Am7 G Thought you were too young to know
C G So I just watched you sleeping
Am7 Em D
C G Then you woke and said to me,
Am7 G "The night is cold it frightens me,
C G Am7 I could sleep so easy next to
Em D Am7 Em D you"
G D Em D Wasn't very long ago
C G You said that you would like to
D C G share my road
G D Em D Then you started singing my song
C G You said, "So many nights are waiting,
Am7 G Let's not spend a moment wasting
C time,
G Am Em D 'Cause we have very far to go
C G I will go if you will take me
Am7 G I have never had a lover
C G Am7 Em I am young but I am so alone"
D Am7 Em D
C G Am G Em We spent the whole night
G C Em D7 G talking
C Am G Em G But in the gold of morning
C Em D7 G D Em Am D G
Em D Hmmm
Em D D7 G Hmmm, mmm mmm
