Hello Sweet April,
B
We are coming out of fall

and its pointless to call, you
A C# B
I am going to stay in bed and let my brain catch up enough to switch on the lights
A C# D
I am catching my breath, I was running after you in my dreams all night
C# D A
So I&rsquo ll plant six lilies in the sun
C# D E
I&rsquo ll let the neighbors talk because it&rsquo s so much fun to laugh at us

I take out an ad for a purpose in the paper
D
next to the comics and obituaries
A C#
The dust has caked on these windows like
B
Tears
A C# D
Birds are singing, and the coffee hasn&rsquo t tasted the same in years
A C# B

A C# B
I take all the curtains down so you can find your way home
A C# D

C# D A
Write a letter once in a while
C# D E
Send a postcard so I won&rsquo t forget how to smile
C# D A
It will get cold again and the days will start to run
C# D E
So, I&rsquo ll plant six lilies in the sun
