G Em7 C G
You were the mother of three girls so sweet
G Em7 C G
That stormed through your turnstile and climbed to the street

But after conception, your body lay cold
G Em7 C G
And withered through autumn and you found yourself old

Can you tell me why you have been so sad?

G Am Em D
The girls were all there, they traded their vows
G Am C D
The youngest one glared with furrowed brows
G Am Em D
They tenderly kissed, then cut the cake
G Am C D
The bride then tripped and broke the vase
G Am Em D
The one you thought would span the years
G Am C D
So perfectly placed below the mirror
G Am Em D
Arriving late, you cleaned the debris
G Am C D
And walked into the angry scene
Am Em D E
It felt just like falling in love again
Am Em D C
And it felt just like falling in love again
