[G]Birds flying south [C]to the one I [G]love,
Birds flying [Bm7]high and [C]free,
Don't tell my [C#]darling that [G/D]you saw [Em7]me,
[G]Looking the [D]way you see [G]me.[Em7]
[G]And winds blowing [Gmaj7]warm to the [C]one I [G]love,
Winds please [Bm]kiss her for [C]me,
But don't tell my [C#]darling[Gmaj7] that you saw [Em7]me,
[G]Looking the [D]way you see [G]me.[Em7]
The [D]way you see me is [C]how I've [G]been,
[D]And however since she's [G]been gone[D/F#],[Em7]

[A]That [G]you flowed from my [Em7]eyes,
For she'll [G]see me the [D]way you see [G]me.
