Verse 1:                                                                                             It was 
C     /       /       /      C     /       /       /      F     /       /       /      F     /       /      / 
long,     long             ago      in      the      moonlight                          We were 

C     /       /       /      C     /       /       /      G     /       /       /      G     /       /      / 
sitting    on   the       banks   of    the        stream                               When you 

C     /       /       /      C     /       /       /      F     /       /       /      F     /       /      / 
whispered           so  sweetly,              I  love you                                   As the

waters                      murmured a            tune


Chorus :    (same chords as verse)        
Oh they tell me your love is like a flower
In the springtime it blossoms so fair
In the fall then it withers away dear
And they tell me that's the way of your love

Verse 12:
I remember the night, little darling
We were talking of days gone by
When you told me you always would love me
That for me your love would never die

Verse 3:
It was spring when you whispered these words dear
The flowers were all blooming so fair
But today as the snow falls around us
I can see that your love is not there
