 4   6   -6   6  -5  -6   6
You said when we come of age

-5   5     -4 -5   5   6    
You would give a true love,

5  -4    6   5  -4
a great love to me.

 4   6    -6   6   -5  -6  6
You vowed when we come of age

 -6  6     -4   -5  5  6  
You would bring me heaven

 5  -5    6  -3   4
and share it with me.

 -6     -7   7  -6   -7     6
Through the awkward young years,

-5  6    -6   -5  6
I would dream of you.

-6 -7   7 -6  -7    6
Fearing as a child fears

  5   -4   5  4    -4  
You'd find someone new.

 4    6    -6  6   -5 -6     6
Time past and the doubting, too.

-5 5   -4  -5  5  
As we came of age

 6   5   -4 -4 6   -3   4
all your promises came true.
