(Amaj7)
The
last time I (Bm/A) saw
her face
(E7)
Her
eyes were bathed in starlight and her
(Amaj7)
hair
hung long
The last
time she (Bm/A) spoke
to me
(E7)
Her
lips were like the scented flowers inside a rain-drenched
(A) forest
(D)
But
that was so (E) long
ago that (D) I
can scarcely (A) feel
The way
I (Bm) felt
before
(Bm/A)
(Esus4)
And
if (E7) time
could (A) heal
the wounds
I would
tear the (D) threads
away that I might (E7sus4) bleed
some more (E7)
The
(Amaj7) last time I
(Bm/A) walked with her
(E7)
Her
laughter was the steeple bells, that (D) ring
to greet the (E) morning
sun
(D)
A
voice that called to (E) everyone,(D)
to love the ground she
(E) walked upon
(E7)
Those
were (Amaj7)
good
days
The
last
time I held her hand
Her touch
was autumn, spring and summer and winter too
The last
time I let go of her
She walked
a way into the night, I lost her in the misty streets
A thousand
months, a thousand years, when other lips will kiss her eyes
A million
miles beyond the moon, that's where she is
But
that
was so long ago that I can scarcely feel the way I felt before
And if
time could heal the wounds
I would
tear the threads away that I might bleed some more
The
last
time I saw her face
Her eyes
were bathed in starlight and she walked alone
The last
time she kissed my cheek
Her lips
were like the wilted leaves, upon the autumn covered hills
Resting
on the frozen ground, the seeds of love lie cold and still
Beneath
a battered marking stone, it lies forgotten
