Verse 1
[D] [G]
That little white house, wasn’t it something?
[Em] [A]
Wasn’t it heaven, just me and you love?
[D] [G]
But then all of a sudden, wasn’t it crowded?
[Em] [A]
Bed in the living room over the couch
[D] [G]
And I never thought that I’d hear
[Em] [A]
Such a clamor in my living room
[D] [G]
Quite the din, those little people,
[Em] [A]
A thundering frolic of me’s and of you’s
Chorus
[D] [G]
Keep your heart steady now, and your eyes clear
[Em] [A]
These are the days you’ll want back when they’re gone
[D] [G]
Don’t wish them away; don’t forget, love
[Em] [A]
Fruit is heavy out there on the bough.
Verse 2
[D] [G]
When it was up straight in the morning, stars still aglow,
[Em] [A]
Driving my rattling car down the road
[D] [G]
Thinking about you, giving your all,
[Em] [A]
Making that little white house into home.
[D] [G]
And those days rolled by like thunder,
[Em] [A]
Fell down like rain, and they blew like a gale.
[D] [G]
Bending our branches, shaking boughs,
[Em] [A]
Wasn’t quite certain if our roots would hold.
Chorus
[D] [G]
Keep your heart steady now, and your eyes clear
[Em] [A]
These are the days you’ll want back when they’re gone
[D] [G]
Don’t wish them away; don’t forget, love
[Em] [A]
Fruit is heavy out there on the bough.
Bridge
[D] [G]
Time is wild horse, fleet on the plains
[Em] [A]
And all the good days, they hurry on by
[D] [G]
The blood that you feel so hot in your veins
[Em] [A]
Will turn back to the dust that gave us our name
Chorus
[D] [G]
Keep your heart steady now, and your eyes clear
[Em] [A]
These are the days you’ll want back when they’re gone
[D] [G]
Don’t wish them away; don’t forget, love
[Em] [A]
Fruit is heavy out there on the bough.
