EACH DAY'S DAWN

by Joshua Meyrowitz

C F C F G
C F
She was a long time coming, now / /
C
A long time gone

She gave me good lovin’
G
And I wrote her a song

She took me to places. I’d / /
Never been before;
Opened many windows,
Then slipped out my door.

Am
Such a long time gone / /

A long time gone
F
But the memories grow sharper (bridge up to G)
G G7 C
With each day’s dawn

I thought I saw her bakin’, at / /
The beach down my road
But I was so mistaken
T’was a girl I didn’t know

At night, I keep dreaming, she’s / /
Come back to me
We’re laughing and we’re singing
Just like it used to be == CHORUS

When a certain eastern wind
Blows through my closet’s clothes
I think I catch a scent of her in my heart and nose

I reach out when I’m sleeping
To feel I’m all alone
Is that just a shadow on the wall
Or my honey coming home == CHORUS + Instrum Verse (melody over chords) + CHORUS

She was a long time comin’, now / /
Such a long time gone
She gave me sweetest lovin’
I wrote her my best song

She took me to places I / /
Had never ever seen
But she left with no traces,
I’m all alone again == CHORUS
