I saw you by the river that goes flowing on forever
A D A
The blossoms from the apple tree were falling for your charms
D G D G D
I looked at you, you looked at me, but those of us could barely see
A D A D
But the river stood between us, and the slightest chance of harm
D G D G D
I was walking down the road that leads from August to September
A D A
When I saw you picking berries with their colours on your hand
D G D G D
Like the swallows on the rooftop you were making plans for winter
A D A D
When I came a little closer, like the swallows you were gone
D G D G D
But do you know or don?t you, that I?ll be thinking of you
A D A
That I feel you?re right beside me, in the singing of the song
D G D G D
And we?ll sing it where the road goes round the corner to remember
A D A D
That the magic of the music?s in the note that lingers on
D G D G D
There was ice upon the river and the city seems to shiver
A D A
Til I saw you in the marketplace that keeps the winter warm
D G D G D
You were selling herbs and spices and a drink of human kindness
A D A D
And a candle for the window that the darkness might be gone
Repeat Chorus
D G D G D
When the ice begins to splinter and the spring is coaxing winter
A D A
And the taking of his racquet coat, our days are turning warm
D G D G D
With the seasons I?ll remember, that as June said to December
A D A D
Love and life is letting go, as much as holding on
Repeat Chorus
