One By One

G C One by one my teardrops fall as I write to you D G One by one my dreams are fading fast away C One by one my hopes keep docking in the twilight D G D One by one my words come falling on the page G D One by one my hair is turning grey G D One by one my dreams are fading fast away G D One by one I read your letters over G D G One by one I lay them all away C One by one my flowers are fading in the sunrise D G One by one the leaves keep falling from my trees C One by one these wrinkles feel across my brow, dear D G One by one my snowflakes tumble in the breeze C One by one my years of youth are passing by me D G One by one the sweetest days of life go by C One by one the hours slipping up behind you D G One by one she'll find not you and I D G D One by one my hair is turning grey G D One by one my dreams are fading fast away G D One by one I read your letters over G D G One by one I lay them all away C One by one I hear your sweet voice whisper D G One by one I feel your kisses on my cheek C One by one I hope you'll say the words to marry D G One by one, one by one we'll forever be D G D One by one my hair is turning grey G D One by one my dreams are fading fast away G D One by one I read your letters over G One by one I lay them all away
