《A Few Short Years Ago》歌词

[00:00:00] A Few Short Years Ago - Anita Carter

[00:00:08] I went back to the village Tom

[00:00:12] And sat beneath the tree

[00:00:18] Upon the schoolhouse playground

[00:00:22] Which one sheltered you and me;

[00:00:29] But none were there to greet me Tom

[00:00:33] And few were left to know

[00:00:39] That played with us upon the grass

[00:00:43] A few short years ago

[00:00:49] I stood and gazed upon the tree

[00:00:54] Where you once called our names

[00:00:58] I loved you then with all my heart

[00:01:02] And that has never changed

[00:01:08] The tree is old and tired Tom

[00:01:12] It's dying sure but slow

[00:01:18] Soon it will die just as you died

[00:01:23] A few short years ago

[00:01:28] The grass is just as green Tom

[00:01:33] With barefooted boys at play

[00:01:39] They're playing games that we played then

[00:01:43] With spirits just as gay

[00:01:49] The same old bricks are in the wall

[00:01:53] The bell swings to and fro

[00:01:59] And sounds just like it sounded Tom

[00:02:03] A few short years ago

[00:02:10] I went up to the churchyard Tom

[00:02:14] Did you know I was there

[00:02:18] And did you hear me praying Tom

[00:02:22] We'd meet again somewhere

[00:02:28] You see I'd never married Tom

[00:02:33] I've only had one vow

[00:02:39] And as you know that vow was you

[00:02:43] A few short years ago
