[Verse 1]

     D                         F#m/C#
When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
   G                  D              A
We used to love while others used to play
D                              F#m/C#
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
    Em7                       D    D7
And you don't ask the time of day
    G                        D
But you and I, our love will never die
    Em7            G      G/A      D      A
But guess we'll cry  come First of May


[Verse 2]

D                             F#m/C#
 The apple tree that grew for you and me
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
    Em7                       D    D7
And you don't ask the time of day
    G                        D
But you and I, our love will never die

    Em7            G      G/A      D
But guess we'll cry  come First of May

     D             F#m/C#
When I was small ... and Christmas trees were tall
G               D            A
Do-do-do-do-do  do-do-do  do-do

Don't ask me why

But time has passed us by

Someone else moved in
