First Of May

(Barry, Maurice, and Robin Gibb)

(piano, harp, and strings):

Verse 1:

(piano):

When I was small and Christmas trees were tall

We used to love while others used to play

(strings enter)

Don't ask me why, but time has passed us by

Someone else moved in from far away

Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small

And you don't ask the time of day

But you and I, our love will never die

Em G [1: /A] D [1: A (band enters)]

But guess who'll cry come First of May

Verse 2:

The apple tree that grew for you and me

I watched the apples falling one by one

And I recall the moment of them all

The day I kissed your cheek and you were gone

Now we are tall and Christmas trees are small

And you don't ask the time of day

But you and I, our love will never die

But guess who'll cry come First of May

Coda:

(piano, acoustic guitar, and strings):

When I was small and Christmas trees were tall

Do-do-do-do-do do-do-do do-do

(acapella):

Don't ask me why but time has passed us by

Someone else moved in from far away [fade]
