Intro:
play parts 1, 2, and 3 2X, second time with recorder solo

Part 1:   F5                                D#5
The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long
   F5                                D#5
The winter looked the same as if it never had gone
   C#5                            D#5
And through an open window where no curtain hung

Part 2:
   D#5  F5  F#5
           I saw you
   D#5  F5  F#5
           I saw you
   D#5  F5  F#5
                     Comin'...

Part 3:
   C#5
...back to me

One begins to read between the pages of a look
The shape of sleepy music and suddenly you're hooked
Through the rain upon the trees that kisses on the run

I saw you     I saw you
Comin' back to me

Part 4:
C#
You can't stay and live my way
Scatter my love like leaves in the wind
You always say you won't go away
But I know what it always has been
                ...it always has been

A transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh
Most of the time I just let it go by
Now I wish it hadn't begun

I saw you     I saw you
Comin' back to me

Strolling the hills overlooking the shore
I realize I've been here before
The shadow in the mist could have been anyone

I saw you     I saw you
Comin' back to me

Small things like reasons are put in a jar
Whatever happened to wishes wished on a star
Was it just something that I made up for fun

I saw you     I saw you
Comin' back to me
