Lyrics:

When the night wind softly blows through my open window

Then I start to remember the girl that brought me joy

Now the night wind softly blows sadness to tomorrow

Bringing tears to eyes so tired

Eyes I thought could cry no more

If the day would only come

Then you might just appear

even though you'd soon be gone

When I reached out my hand

If I could see you

If only I could see you

To see if you are laughing or crying

When the night winds softly blow

In my dark and whispering room

Memories still bring me a numbness to my feelings

Take my hand and brush my brow

In the warm and fevered dark

Heart is madly beating

My crazy thoughts are burning

When the night winds softly blow

If the day would only come

Then you might just appear

even though you'd soon be gone

When I reached out my hand

If I could see you

If only I could see you

To see if you are laughing or crying

When the night winds softly blow

If the day would only come

Then you might just appear

even though you'd soon be gone

When I reached out my hand

If I could see you

If only I could see you

To see if you are laughing or crying

When the night winds softly blow
