[Verse 1]
         
You and I both

 
 know
             
There is nothi

            
ng more to say
             
Chance has shu

        
t her shining 

eyes
             
And turned her

       
 face away

[Chorus]
             
Leaning on the

        
 window sill
              
You could writ

             
e me someday a

              
nd I think you

   
 will
              
We could see t

             
he sadness as 

         
a gift and sti

ll
         
Feel too heavy

 to hold

[Verse 2]
       
Snow falling
             
I try to keep 

           
from calling
           
Watch the spri

ng turn to win

ter
            
Fireflies all 

     
frozen

[Chorus]
             
The seasons go

     
 so fast
              
Thinking that 

             
this one was g

         
onna last
             
Maybe the ques

           
tion was too m

           
uch to ask

[Verse 3]
             
Been searching

       
 for your eyes
             
All I see is b

       
lue sky
             
And that old m

             
an beats his c

rooked cane
             
It's time to l

     
et go

[Chorus]
             
Leaning on the

        
 window sill
              
You could writ

             
e me someday a

              
nd I bet you w

   
ill

[Verse 4]
         
You and I coul

  
d see
             
Into the same 

        
eternity
            
Every second b

              
rimming with a

        
 majesty

[Chorus]
             
Oh, kiss so sw

        
eet, so fine
              
You could hear

             
 the music ins

          
ide my mind
             
And you showed

           
 me a place I'

    
ll find
              
Even when I'm 


old

[Chorus]
             
Just leaning o

             
n the window s

ill
              
You could writ

             
e me someday a

              
nd I hope you 

   
will
