Introduction: E
E
When first I met you years ago
A E
in another time and place
a thought came to my mind
A E
I'd never seen a kinder face
C#m
or warmer laugh and gentler smile
A B
or eyes so full of light
E
I'd be a fool if I didn't fall
A E
in love with you that night
We've tramped around the world my dear
A E
our fortune was to roam
but each place that I've been with you
A E
that place has been my home
C#m
if now I wander on alone
A B
with no place to abide
E
I'll be content for I was sent
A E
those wanderings at your side
Love that blossoms in the night
A E
can't stand the test of time
it ebbs and flows it comes and goes
A E
no reason reach nor rhyme
C#m
as each day becomes another day
A B
each year another year
E
I'd trade a year in heaven
A E
for a day with you my dear
The miles flow on and I am gone
A E
to a wild and empty land
where time's like an empty room
A E
and space an empty hand
C#m
and the things we said and the jokes we made
A B
are echoes in the waste
E
we'll meet again when hills are green
A E
in another time and place
