On a Christmas

In a bookshop in Charing Cross Road
G
Em
I first set eyes on a girl and at
A
once I did know
D
She had eyes like a poet

and hair like a rainbow
G
Gm
D
Re flecting the lights that did glow

And the sadness she kept
Em
in her eyes
A
Struck my senses a blow

And so as by chance at the

touch of a glance
G
Gm
D
We could find ourselves out in the road
G
With no crush of time to defeat
Em
A
us and no place to go
D
And I couldn't say how but the

coffee bar crowd
G
Had appeared through the silence

D
that broke
G
And she said, Oh my father's

G
Gm

Through the windows to take her away

I thought you can't make people be

what you want them to be

I could see my self nailed

to a dormitory tale

Of a holiday night's escapade

And just yesterday she had seemed

like a woman to me

And so like a child with the

Where the sadness of age had once been

She left on the train with a see

you again and a smile

D
Or even just what I had seen
G
Em
But when I'm alone I just think
