D                      F#m 
I took my chances on a one way ticket home 
Em                                  Gm 
Growing tired of strangers and the kind of life I'd known 
             D                F#m               A 
Thought the time for settling down had come at last 
          D               F#m           A 
Guess I hoped to find my future in the past 
D                                  F#m 
Walk me with me darling where the wheat fields used to be 
Em                             Gm 
I will tell you stories of my times across the sea 
               D    F#m            A 
You're the legenday girl I left behind 
        D                 F#m                  A 
Can't begin to count the times you crossed my mind 
    B       Ebm                  G# 
And oh your children well the youngest looks just like you 
Em 
She's a picture of her mother 
              Gm 
And there'll never be another 
            D       F#m 
Quite like you 
            G          A                 D       F#m     Em 
You're an angel and a time that I don't know any more 
          A                  D         F#m 
So good night I'll take my memories to bed 
     Em            A         D        F#m    D 
You know that be waking up alone 


I should have noticed that the years were slipping by 
Still you're just as lovely as the day we said goodbye 
Like an old familiar poem that just won't rhymn 
I could get back to ther place but not the time 
and oh your children well the youngest looks just like you 
She's the picture of her mother  
and there'll never be another quite like you 
You're an angel and a time that I don't know anymore 
And so goodnight 
I'll take my memories to bed 
And know that I'll be waking up alone
