Lyrics

Yes ter day

I saw the (Bb)sun

(Ab)shin ing,

and the leaves were fall ing (Bb)down

soft ly.

And my cold hands

need ed a (Ab)warm, warm touch,

and I was (Ab)think ing a bout (Gb)you.

But here I am,

look ing for (Bb)signs cean to lead me.

You hold my hand,

but do you real ly need me?

I guess it’s time

for me to (Ab)let you go,

but I’ll be (Db)think ing a bout you.

I’ll be think ing a bout you.

Yes ter day

I saw the (Bb)sun

(Ab)shin ing,

and the leaves were fall ing (Bb)down

soft ly.

And my cold hands

need ed a (Ab)warm, warm touch,

and I was (Ab)think ing a bout (Gb)you.

So when you sail

a cross the (Bb)o cean to wa ters

You and you reach

the oth er side ly safe ly,

I could you smile

a lit tle (Ab)smile for me?

’Cause I’ll be (Db)think ing a bout you.

I’ll be think ing a bout you.

you.

I’ll be (Db)think ing a bout you

I’ll be think ing a bout

you.
