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...
