Am
One autumn day
   F
He looked my way
    G                Em7
And promised me he'd never
Am
Leave me sad and blue
   F
He said he always knew
G             Em7
We would be together


   Am
So hand in hand
   F
We wed as planned
    G                  Em7
Our time was short, however
       Am
As the world was turned around
    F
The innocence we'd found
    G              Em7
Was lost in stormy weather


INSTRUMENTAL: Em  Am7  Dm7    Em  Am7  F  G


     Am
That autumn day
        F
When he marched away
  G                 Em7
I heard him say, forever
   Am
He writes me every day
     F
Says everything's okay
     G                   Em7
Soon things will be much better


    Am
But late at night
       F
As the candles' light
G               Em7
Flickers in the darkness
  Am
I see him over there
    F
The moonlight in his hair
   G              Em7
As stars explode around him
