[Intro]
G Gsus (x7)
 
 
[Verse 1]
     G             Gsus               G      Gsus
It's been a while, since you've been around
          G               Gsus       G          Gsus
I've been drifting like a gypsy from town to town
     C
I've been to France and Rome
          C
I've seen Duomo's glittered dome
     G            Gsus           G     Gsus
I've laid beneath Spanish summer skies
          D                                G     Gsus G Gsus
I've seen nothing so lovely as your violet eyes
 
 
[Verse 2]
G        Gsus               G    Gsus
Do you recall the turquoise seas
G            Gsus              G      Gsus
On the isles off the shores of Greece
     C
I've sworn I won't forget
           C
Your exact smile or where we went
  G          Gsus G     Gsus
I see you in everything
    D
And everywhere I go
                  G    Gsus
I see your violet eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
C              G
  Seasons come   seasons pass
D
  Time is so fragile
G
  Like a looking glass
      C
Oh, I know there must be something
     G
More   constant than time
       D
'Cause everywhere I go
                  G    Gsus G Gsus
I see your violet eyes
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                    Gsus        G   Gsus
  If I could write a postcard to you
G              Gsus             G       Gsus
  And know somehow it would get through
C
  I'm not sure I could express
     C
This aching in my chest
G Gsus                   G        Gsus
     I guess I'll always miss you
    D
And everywhere I go
                  G    Gsus G Gsus
I see your violet eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
C                  G
  Seasons come and   seasons pass
D
  Time is so fragile
G
  Like a looking glass
      C
Oh, I know there must be something
     G
More   constant than time
       D
'Cause everywhere I go
                  G
I see your violet eyes
 
 
[Bridge]
         C
It was a year ago last Christmas
G
  We spent in Hawaii
D
Laughing neath the swells, playing in the sand
G
  Laughing in the sea
      C                  G
It'll be a year ago this   Fourth of July
D
  When I held your hand
    D
And for the last time
                       G    Gsus G Gsus
You closed your violet eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
C               G
Seasons come, ahh, seasons pass
D
  Time, it is so fragile
        G
It's as fragile as a looking glass
      C
And I know there must be something
     G
More   constant than time
D
  'Cause at night, when I sleep
D
  I feel you all around me
D
  I feel your eyes upon me
                  G    Gsus G
I see your violet eyes
