Lyrics

Some times the snow comes down in June.

when Some times the sun goes ’round the moon.

I see the pas sion in your eyes.

Some times it’s all a big sur prise.

’Cause there was a time when all I did was wish you’d tell me this was love.

It’s not the way I hoped or how I planned,

is but (Db)some how (Ab)it’s e nough.

(CN.C.)And now we’re stand ing face to face.

Is n’t this world a cra zy place?

Just when I thought our chance had passed,

you go and save the best for last.

All of the nights you came to me

when some sil ly girl had set you free.

You won dered how you’d make it through.

I won dered what was wrong with you.

’Cause how could you give your love to some one else and share your dreams with me?

Some times the ver y thing you’re look ing for

is the (Db)one thing (Ab)you can’t see.

(CN.C.)But now we’re stand ing face to face.

Is n’t this world a cra zy place?

Just when I thought our chance had passed,

you go and save the best for last.

All of the nights

La da (Bb)da da da da da.

Some times the ver y thing you’re look ing for

is the (Db)one thing (Ab)you can’t (Bb)see.

(CN.C.)Some times the snow

You went and saved the best

for last.

Yeah.

Can I practice from this view at my own pace?

Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
