Sadness As a Gift Lyrics
[Intro]
Two
And one, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
You and I both know
There is nothing more to say
Chance has shut her shining eyes
And turned her face away

[Chorus]
Leaning on the windowsill
You could write me someday, and I think you will
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
Feel too heavy to hold

[Verse 2]
Snow fallin’
I try to keep from callin’
Watch the spring turn to winter
Fireflies all frozen

[Chorus]
The seasons go so fast
Thinking that this one was gonna last
Maybe the question was too much to ask

[Verse 3]
Been searching for your eyes
All I see is blue skies
And that old man beats his crooked cane
It’s time to let go

[Chorus]
Leaning on the windowsill
You could write me someday, and I bet you will
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
The seasons go so fast
Thinking that this one was gonna last
Maybe the question was too much to ask

[Verse 4]
You and I could see into the same eternity
Every second brimming with a majesty

[Chorus]
Oh, kiss so sweet, so fine
You could hear the music inside my mind
And you showed me a place
I’ll find even when I’m old
Just leaning on the windowsill
You could write me someday, and I hope you will
We could see the sadness as a gift and still
The seasons go so fast
Thinking that this one was gonna last
Maybe the question was too much to ask
