SO MANY YEARS AGO WE TOOK OUR WEDDING VOWS
D E A
TO GIVE EACH OTHER LOVE FROM THEN 'TIL EVERMORE
A D E A C#M F#M
WE SPENT THE SPRING IN LOVE IN EACH OTHERS ARMS
D E A
MAKING ALL OUR PLANS DREAMING THINGS TO COME
A D E A C#M F#M
THE SUMMER BROUGHT THE RAIN BUT WE MADE IT THROUGH
D E A
AND ADDED TO OUR LIVES A CHILD THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU
(chorus) HARMONY)
A D E A
I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU WANTED ME TO STAY
B E
BUT YOUR LOVING ARMS NEVER PULLED AWAY
THE WINTER WAS SO COLD I DOUBT OUR LOVE WAS RIGHT
I LEFT TO FIND MYSELF FOR ALL WE DID WAS FIGHT
INSTRUMENTAL
YOU GAVE ME THE TIME YOUR PATIENCE ALWAYS THERE
I DIDN'T THINK OUR LOVE COULD EVER BE REPAIRED
IT HURT SO MUCH ALONE YOU SAID YOU FELT THE SAME
I FINALLY GREW UP AND UNDERSTOOD THE PAIN
(chorus) HARMONY)
A D E A
THE WINTER BROUGHT THE COLD BUT YOU HELPED ME SEE
B E
AND ADDED TO OUR LIVES KIDS THAT LOOK LIKE ME
LOVE WAS ALWAYS THERE LOVE IN GROWING WAYS
LOVE WE NEVER SAW OR UNDERSTOOD IN OUR YOUNGER DAYS
NOW I UNDERSTAND WHAT I SAW WAS FEAR
NOW IN YOUR LOVING ARMS I'LL SPEND MY AUTUMN YEARS
YOU ALWAYS KNEW JUST HOW TO BRUSH AWAY MY TEARS
AND IN MY GRATEFUL ARMS YOU'LL SPEND YOUR AUTUMN YEARS
(HARMONY)
NOW THERE IS NO DOUBT AS WE SHARE THE LOVE WE FEEL
AND IN EACH OTHERS ARMS WE'LL SPEND OUR AUTUMN YEARS
AND IN EACH OTHERS ARMS WE'LL SPEND OUR AUTUMN YEARS
Lovely traditional upbeat country. Love Hayley
