That river of tears that I have cried
But don't tell my darling
And however since she's been gone
But don't tell my darling
The way you see me is how I've been
River flow on to the sea
And however since she's been gone
And tell her I'm happy alone
Winds please kiss her for me
River flowin' on to the sea
Looking the way you see me
Looking the way you see me
For she'll see me the way you see me
River of tears that I have cried
For she'll see me the way you see me
But don't tell my darling that you saw me
Just tell her you saw me like I'd like to be
That you flowed from my eyes
That you flowed from my eyes
Just tell her you saw me like I'd like to be
And winds blowing warm to the one I love
And tell her I'm happy alone
The way you see me is how I've been
Don't tell my darling that you saw me
