     D                          F#m
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,

   G                  D              A
We used to love while others used to play.

      D                        F#m
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,

G                  D            A
Someone else moved in from far away.

    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,

    Em          G                 D   A
But guess we'll cry come first of may.

    D                        F#m
The apple tree that grew for you and me,

  G                  D              A
I watched the apples falling one by one.

    D                      F#m
And I recall the moment of them all,

    G                 D                  A
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine.

    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,

    Em          G                 D   
But guess we'll cry come first of may.

     D                          F#m
When I was small, and Christmas trees were tall,

G           D           A
Do do do do do do do do do...

      D                        F#m
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by,

G                   D            A
Some one else moved in from far away.
