The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long
   The winter looked the same as if it never had gone
   And through an open window where no curtain hung
  
   I saw you
   I saw you
  
   One begins to read between the pages of a book
   The shape of sleepy music and suddenly you're hooked
   Through the rain upon the trees that kisses on the run
  
   I saw you
   I saw you
   Comin' back to me
  
   You can't stay and live my way
   Scatter my love like leaves in the wind
   You always say that you won't go away
   But I know what it always has been
   It always has been
  
   A transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh
   Most of the time I just let it go by
   Now I wish it hadn't begun
  
   I saw you
   I saw you
   Comin' back to me
  
   Strolling the hills overlooking the shore
   I realize I've been here before
   The shadow in the mist could have been anyone
  
   But I saw you
   I saw you
   Comin' back to me
  
   Small things like reasons are put in a jar
   Whatever happened to wishes wished on a star
   Was it just something that I made up for fun
  
   I saw you
   I saw you
   Comin' back to me
