Lyrics

A pril gave us (Cmaj7)spring time,

and a prom ise of the (C)flow ers;

and a feel ing that we (F)both shared,

and a love that we called (G7)ours.

And we knew no time for (C)sad ness,

that’s a road we each had (C)crossed.

And we were liv ing a time (Dm7)meant for us,

and e ven when it would rain, we’d (C)laugh it off.

And I’ve got piec es of (Em7)A pril

that I keep in a (G7)mem o ry bou (C)quet.

I’ve got piec es of A pril,

and it’s a (G7)morn ing in (C)May.

We stood on the crest of (Cmaj7)sum mer,

be neath an oak of blos somed (C)green;

feel in’ as I did in (F)A pril;

not real ly know in’ just what it (G7)means.

But it must be then that stands be (C)side me now,

to make me feel this (C)way;

just as I did in (Dm7)A pril,

and it’s a morn ing in (C)May.
