1. Mr. Alexander, came for a visit one day

Cm7 Dm7

He talked about the lack of rain,

Cm7 Dm7

About the crops and the summer hay.

Fm7 Cm7

He talked of when he was a child,

Fm7 Cm7

All the summers he had seen;

Fm7 Cm7

All the years that we’d been friends,

Dm7 G

And all the years in between,

2. He said - I’ve known you since you were a boy,

I’ve watched you grow into a man.

I’ve watched you court and fall in love,

And try your best to understand.

In some ways you’re still that same boy,

I knew those many years ago.

But yet you are a different man,

Dm7 G

You know time changes things so,

Dm7 C

Time changes things so.

Instrumental Cm7 Dm7

3. Now I am an older man,

And I’m finally finding my way;

But I still remember the words he said,

When he came to visit that day.

He said someday you’ll be a wiser man,

And someday you’ll find a way to know,

All the secrets that life has to give,

Dm7 G

And how time changes things so,

How time changes things so,

Dm7 C

How time changes things so.

Mr. Alexander!
