That I picked for you to wear

Come and ask me how your makeup looks so fresh
D        G                  D
And the way they did your hair
D               G  D
They kiss your eyes
D               G D                   A
They kiss your eyes and touch your hand
A                                      G
And the lilac flowers laying by your feet
G                                      D
Remind me of those shoes you used to wear

Bring you lots of flowers in the summertime

Picture flowers in your hair

I lay them down
D             G
Cover the ground

With the colors I remember that you loved
A
That summer
G
Back when we were twenty
G
When we were twenty
G                    D  
When we were twenty-one
