If you find her in a field of summer's gold
Put a flower in her hair
And if you whisper soft your secrets never told
You will know that I've been there

And if you're holding her upon a winter's eve
And there's a chill that bites the air
And if you swear upon a kiss you'll never leave
You will know that I've been there

And if you follow her down to a melting stream
And your reflection shows a pair
And if you wait and you find her sweeter than a dream
You will know that I've been there

And if you make for her a blanket in the fall
Or weave a scarf that she can wear
And if she sings to you a song you can't recall
You will know that I've been there

And if your heart is not content to watch the rain
Safe inside a pillow's chair
And if you long for love but you somehow fell for pain
You will know that I've been there

And if you sail off and you promise to return
Across the ocean you will stare
And if you stay away too long and then get burned
You will know that I've been there

And if you write to her a letter stained with wine
Missing times you'll never share
And if you find a tear and you think it might be mine
You will know that I've been there

And if you're staring out your windowsill tonight
And you've been looking everywhere
Knowing you made wrong what certainly was right
You will know that I've been there

And if you see someone who's singing sad and true
And you ask how he does fare
And if he tells you 'bout a lady he once knew
You will know that I've been there 

And if you find her in a field of summer's gold
Put a flower in her hair
