This lovely day will lengthen into ev'ning,

We'll sigh good-bye to all we've ever had.

Alone, where we have walked together,

I'll remember April and be glad.
Bridge:
Gm7 C7 F7M Dm7
I'll be content you loved me once in April;
Gm7 C7 F7M Dm7
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new;
Em7 A7 D7M D6
But I'm not afraid of Autumn and her sorrow,
C#m5-/7 F#7 B7 Em7 A7
For I'll remember April and you.
D D6 D7M D6
The fire will dwindle in the glowing ashes,
Dm7 Dm6 Dm7 Dm6
For flames and love live such a little while;
Gm A7 C9 B9
I won't forget, but I won't be lonely
B7 Em7 A7/9- D7M D6
I'll remember April, and I'll smile.
