Intro: Verse 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. And 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 however since she's been gone, Just tell her you saw me like I'd like to be, And tell her I'm happy alone. That river of tears that I have cried, River flow on to the sea, But don't tell my darling, That you flowed from my eyes, For she'll see me the way you see me. Break Verse The way you see me is how I've been, And however since she's been gone, Just tell her you saw me like I'd like to be, And tell her I'm happy alone. River of tears that I have cried, River flowin' on to the sea, But don't tell my darling, That you flowed from my eyes, For she'll see me the way you see me, She'll see me the way you see me.
