Intro: D D A A D D

I [D]saw you [G]by the [D]river that goes [G]flowing on for[D]ever
The blossoms [A]from the [D]apple tree were falling for your [A]charms
I [D]looked at [G]you, you [D]looked at me, but [G]those of us could [D]barely see
But the river [A]stood between [D]us, and the [A]slightest chance of [D]harm

I was [D]walking [G]down the [D]road that leads from [G]August to Sep[D]tember
When I saw you [A]picking [D]berries with their colours on your [A]hand
Like the [D]swallows [G]on the [D]rooftop you were [G]making plans for [D]winter
When I came a [A]little [D]closer, like the [A]swallows you were [D]gone

Chorus:
But [D]do you [G]know or [D]don?t you, that [G]I?ll be thinking [D]of you
That I feel you?re [A]right be[D]side me, in the singing of the [A]song
And we?ll [D]sing it [G]where the [D]road goes round the [G]corner to re[D]member
That the magic [A]of the [D]music?s in the [A]note that lingers [D]on

There was [D]ice u[G]pon the [D]river and the [G]city seems to [D]shiver
Til I saw you [A]in the [D]marketplace that keeps the winter [A]warm
You were [D]selling [G]herbs and [D]spices and a [G]drink of human [D]kindness
And a candle [A]for the [D]window that the [A]darkness might be go[D]ne

Repeat chorus

When the [D]ice be[G]gins to [D]splinter and the [G]spring is coaxing [D]winter
And the taking [A]of his [D]racquet coat, our days are turning [A]warm
With the [D]seasons [G]I?ll re[D]member, that as [G]June said to De[D]cember
Love and [A]life is [D]letting go, as [A]much as holding [D]on

Repeat chorus
