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.
