Birds flying south to the one I love birds flying light 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
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
