Bsus: X24452

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     Bsus 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    Bsus 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    Bsus 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     Bsus B
are echoes in the waste 
      E
we'll meet again when hills are green 
    A               E
in another time and place
