When I’m Over You

Composer’s original recording:

Arrangement for piano and alto voice (as shown above):

Standing beside a big redwood tree
It seems to really reach the sky
So tall and so old
With secrets untold
There suspended in time
But when the winter’s gone
And the days grow long
On the top the tree
Is then born anew

So kiss me now
And don’t you let me go
Through the summers
And the winter snows
I will be the first to let you know
When I’m over you

Look at the pictures of canyon walls
And what if someday we travel there
We’d look up with awe
Feeling so small
Climb it – we wouldn’t dare
And yet tears of rain someday
Will wash them all away
Still we know they’ll stand
For millions of years

So kiss me now
And don’t you let me go
Through the summers
And the winter snows
I will be the first to let you know
When I’m over you
