	Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by  
	 G                 D             A

	I watched the apples falling one by one  
	 D                             F#m/C#  
	And I recall the moment of them all  
	 G                 D             A  
	The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone  
	    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

	But guess who'll cry come First of May
