[Intro]
One,
two A-one, t
wo, three, fou
r
[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
We could see t
he sadness as
a gift and sti
ll
The seasons go
so fast
Thinking that
this one was g
onna last
Maybe the ques
tion was too m
uch to ask
[Instrumental]
[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
We could see t
he sadness as
a gift and sti
ll
The seasons go
so fast
Thinking that
this one was g
onna last
Maybe the ques
tion was too m
uch to ask
