C
As the daylight turns to starlight
F G
And the seasons turn to change
C
I get the same old answers
F G
But the question still remains
F
We shared a brief but magic song
G F
By the first leaves of autumn
C
You were gone
[Chorus]
C F G C
Not until the rain had touched my face
F G C
Not until the first leaves fell from space
F G Am
Not until that moment did I see
C F Dm G C
I never realised what you meant to me
[Instrumental]
C F G C
C F G C
C F G Am
C F G C
[Verse]
C F
From the days you filled with sunlight
G
To the laughter in you eyes
C F
To the making and the breaking
G
Of the day you said goodbye
F
We shared a brief but magic song
G F
By the first leaves of autumn
C
You were gone
[Chorus]
C F G C
Not until the hearts defence is down
F G C
Not until some old come all ye comes round
F G Am
Not until that moment did I see
C F Dm G C
Never realised what you meant to me
[Chorus]
C F G C
Not until the rain had touched my face
F G C
Not until the first leaves fell from space
F G Am
Not until that moment did I see
C F Dm G Am G F
I never realised what you meant to me
C F Dm G C
I never realised what you meant to me
