Intro: G D Em A D 


Verse 
D                D/F#    G                  D/F# 
A blessed candle burning alights her golden band 
D                                Em             A  Asus  A 
Her beads and Book of Prayer are resting in her hand 
D          D/F#                G              D 
He pulls a chair beside her to sit with her a while 
Em            D/F#   G                          A    D 
She turns her feeble body close to give him one last smile 


      G        A       D      G         A   D 
As he held her wedding finger softly he did say 
G                   D     Bm      Em               A  Asus  A 
I remember when you said “I do” - seems like yesterday 
         D                 D/F#       G         A   Bm 
When you took my name that morning my heart did overflow 
G                    D     Bm    A           D 
And I still feel the way I did - sixty years ago 



Verse 
D                          D/F#        G                       D/F# 
With a damp white cloth he soothes her his soul mate, his best friend 
D                          Em                   A  Asus  A 
Her suffering now is over, he knows this is the end 
D                         D/F#     G                    D 
She said “They're here to take me, it's time to say goodbye” 
Em                 D/F#   G                  A        D 
One last breath, a gentle kiss, a tear falls from his eye 

 
      G        A       D      G         A   D 
As he held her wedding finger softly he did say 
G                   D     Bm      Em               A  Asus  A 
I remember when you said “I do” - seems like yesterday

G                    D     Bm    A           D 
And I still feel the way I did - sixty years ago 

      G        A       D      G         A   D 
As he held her wedding finger softly he did say 
G                   D     Bm      Em               A  Asus  A 
I remember when you said “I do” - seems like yesterday 
         D                 D/F#       G         F#7 Bm 
When you took my name that morning my heart did overflow 
G                    D     Bm    A           D 
And I still feel the way I did - sixty years ago
