Valerie
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So wild, standing there
With her hands in her hair
I can't help remember
Just where she touched me
There's still no face
Here in our place
So cool, she was like
Jazz on a summer's day
Music, high and sweet
Then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be
Love songs fill the night
But they don't tell it all
Not how lovers cry
Just like they're dying
Her cries hang there
In time somewhere
Someday some good
Wind may blow her back to me
Some night I may
Here her like she used to be
Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be
(Instrumental Interlude)
So cool, she was like
Jazz on a summer's day
Music, high and sweet
Then she just blew away
Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be
I'm the same boy I used to be
