Strum
D-DU-UDU
He  was smitten  the day  that he saw  her
Working behind  the counter  that day
She  liked him  and soon  they were lovers
Hoping for  a love that  would stay.
The  path in life sometimes  hits a crossroad
He  could see  it here; they  soon would part.
Saddened by  the love  she had cherished
She  said you’ll  always be in  my heart
 She sang,
You  came to me
 And taught  me about caring,
You’ve  been to me
 What no  one’s ever been.
Like  two ships that must  sail on we’ll go  our separate ways,
 But in  our hearts we’ll be  forever near
 Years  go by  they meet  at the crossroads
Still  connected  and hearts  intertwined
Comfort by  their long  lasting friendship
One  last  embrace they say  good-bye
 And she says
