     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.

Chorus:
     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.

The apple tree that grew for you and me
I watched the apples falling, one by one
And I recall the moment of them all
The day I kissed your cheek and you were mine

Chorus

When I was small and Christmas trees were tall
Do-do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do
Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by
Some one else moved in from far away...
