Birds flying south
To the one I love
Birds flying high and free
Don't tell my darling
That you saw me
Looking the way
You see me
Winds blowing warm
To the one I love
Winds, please kiss her
For me
But don't tell my darling
That you saw me
Looking the way
You see me
The way you see me
Is how I've been
And how ever since
She's been gone
But tell her you saw me
Like I'd like to be
Tell her
I'm happy alone
River of tears
That I have cried
River, flow on
To the sea
But if you tell my darling
You flowed from my eyes
She'd see me the way
You see me
She'd see me the way
You see me
