The Kingston Trio - Forever and a day

When the cold nights of winter weigh ^Fheavy on my mind I walk ^Dmdown to the river to ^Ebease my worried mind I can ^Bbsee the reflection of the ^Cmmoon on every ^Gmice floe in the ^Fbay And I ^Ebknow that you’ll ^Fsoon be on your ^Bbway

And when the pines stand tall and silent, be^Fneath the starry sky The ^Dmletter that you wrote me, I ^Ebread a thousand times I can ^Bbsee the reflection of your ^Cmface on every ^Gmice floe in the ^Fbay And I ^Ebknow that you’ll ^Fsoon be on your ^Bbway

Come back ^Fhome to the ^Gmones that love you ^Ebtrue Come back ^Fhome to the ^Gmones that miss you ^Ebso Seems like ^Bbyou were gone forever But for ^Cmyou I’ll wait for^Gmever and a ^Fday And I ^Ebknow that you’ll ^Fsoon be on your ^Bbway

When the first rays of sunshine, come ^Fmelt the night away On the ^Dmday you return, I will ^Ebwalk down to the bay And I’ll ^Bbwait by the water, ‘til the ^Cmship pulls in that ^Gmtook you far a^Fway Oh, ^Ebmother dear, I ^Fmiss you more each ^Bbday

And my brother and my father, I ^Fknow they miss you, too The ^Dmwaiting would be easy, if ^Ebonly we could know Have you ^Bbreached your destination in some ^Cmfar off shore, wher^Gmever it may ^Flay? And I ^Ebknow that you’ll ^Fsoon be on your ^Bbway

Come back ^Fhome to the ^Gmones that love you ^Ebtrue Come back ^Fhome to the ^Gmones that miss you ^Ebso Seems like ^Bbyou were gone forever But for ^Cmyou I’ll wait for^Gmever and a ^Fday And I ^Ebknow that you’ll ^Fsoon be on your ^Bbway

Seems like ^Bbyou've been gone forever But for ^Cmyou I’ll wait for^Gmever and a ^Fday And I ^Ebknow that you’ll ^Fsoon be on your ^Bbway
