Lyrics

[Intro] Two And one, two, three, four [Verse 1] You and I both know There is nothing more to say Chance has shut her shining eyes And turned her face away [Chorus] Leaning on the windowsill You could write me someday, and I think you will We could see the sadness as a gift and still Feel too heavy to hold [Verse 2] Snow fallin' I try to keep from callin' Watch the spring turn to winter Fireflies all frozen [Chorus] The seasons go so fast Thinking that this one was gonna last Maybe the question was too much to ask [Verse 3] Been searching for your eyes All I see is blue skies And that old man beats his crooked cane It's time to let go [Chorus] Leaning on the windowsill You could write me someday, and I bet you will We could see the sadness as a gift and still The seasons go so fast Thinking that this one was gonna last Maybe the question was too much to ask [Verse 4] You and I could see into the same eternity Every second brimming with a majesty [Chorus] Oh, kiss so sweet, so fine You could hear the music inside my mind And you showed me a place I'll find even when I'm old Just leaning on the windowsill You could write me someday, and I hope you will We could see the sadness as a gift and still The seasons go so fast Thinking that this one was gonna last Maybe the question was too much to ask
