This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Leaving

You and I cold February night, it's been half an hour.

Taking sweet time saying our goodbyes.

One minute more.

The best day of my life is all thanks to you.

Precious remembrance saved for rainy days or February.

Few scenes from my life or moments mean more to me

than our fine night.

I remember like yesterday the time of my life.

Please don't leave me without saying good bye.

As weekdays and weekdays unwind I'll be found starring back

in time.

2/12/99 at the stroke of midnight.

Holding you tight, your body and mine,in February.
