Key: A
Introduction: D Bm G A
D
Beyond the ridge on the left, you asked me what I want
Bm
Between the trees and the chirping by the shading pond
G A
“I spent and hour with you, should I want anything else?"
D
She rose and winked like the owner of a candy store
Bm
We were sixteen, maybe less, maybe a little more
G A
I walked home smiling, I finally had a story to tell
D A Bm G
And though an autumn-time lullaby sang our new-born love to sleep
A
My brother wrote me, he saw her there
D Bm G A
In the woods one Christmas Eve, asleep
D, Bm, G, A . . . .. X 2
D
Met my wife at a party when I drank too much
Bm
My son is married and tells me we don’t talk enough
G A
It’s so predictable, yesterday my dream was of you
D
Beyond the ridge on the left, the sun had left the sky
Bm
Between the trees and pond you put your hand in mine
G A
Said, “Time has bridled us both but I remember it, too"
D A Bm G
And though an autumn-time lullaby sang our new-born love to sleep
A
I dreamt I traveled and found you there
D Bm G A
In the woods one Christmas Eve, with me
D, Bm, G, A . . . .. X 2
