Verse 1:

        When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
            G                  D              A

         D                             F#m/C#
        Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
         G                 D             A
        Someone else moved in from far away
            G                           D
        Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
            Em                         D    D7
        And you don't ask the time of day
             G                         D
        But you and I, our love will never die
             Em              G   [1: /A]      D   [1: A (band enters)]
        But guess who'll cry   come First of May
Verse 2:
        The apple tree that grew for you and me
        I watched the apples falling one by one
        And I recall the moment of them all
        The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone
        Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small
        And you don't ask the time of day
        But you and I, our love will never die
        But guess who'll cry come First of May

        Someone else moved in   from far away [fade]
