We set up a pool on the deck for our granddaughter in mid-August, but after one use, there was a mini-rainy season, and we couldn't use the pool for several days. We did collect a nice amount of rain water, though, which I used to water the garden the following week. There was something relaxing about watching the raindrops in the water, but it was also sad, too. I shot a video of the pool in the rain and decided to use this sad Chi-Lites song from 1971 as background music. Hope you like my rendition!

One month ago today, I was happy as a lark
But now I go for walks to the movies, maybe to the park
I have a seat on the same old bench to watch the children play
You know, tomorrow is their future, but for me, just another day
They all gather around me, they seem to know my name
We laugh, tell a few jokes, but it still doesn't ease my pain.
I know I can't hide from a memory, though day after day I've tried
I keep sayin' she'll be back, but today again I've lied, ohhh
I [G] see her face every[Gmaj7]where I go
On the [G6] street, and even at the [G] picture show,
Have you [D7sus] seen her?
[D7] Tell me have you [G] seen her?
Oh I [G] hear her voice as the [Gmaj7] cold winds blow
In the [G6] sweet music on my [G] radio
Have you [D7sus] seen her?
[D7] Tell me have you [G] seen her?
[C]Why, [Bm7] oh [Am] why did she have to leave and
go a[G]way /// G+ / [G6] woh-[G7]oh-[A7]oh
I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
and I'm [D7sus] lost, [D7] baby I'm [D7sus] lost [D7] ohh
She [G] left her kiss up[Gmaj7]on my lips
But [G6] left that break with[G]in my heart.
Have you [D7sus] seen her?
[D7] Tell me have you [G] seen her?
Oh I see her hand reaching [Gmaj7] out to me
[G6] Only she can [G] set me free
Have you [D7sus] seen her?
[D7] Tell me have you [G] seen her?
[C]Why, [Bm7] oh [Am]why did she have to leave and
go a[G]way /// oh [G+] yeah [G6] woh-[G7]oh-[A7]oh
I've been used to havin' someone to lean on
and I'm [D7sus] lost, [D7] baby I'm [D7sus] lost [D7] ohh
Do [G] do do do do [Gmaj7] do do do
Do [G6] do do do do [G] do do do
Have you [D7sus] seen her?
[D7] Tell me have you [G] seen her?
(spoken while playing these chords twice)
[ G / Gmaj7 / G6 / G / D7sus / D7 / G /// ]
As another day comes to an end
I'm lookin' for a letter or somethin'
Anything that she would send
With all the people I know
I'm still a lonely man.
You know, it's funny, I thought I had her
in the palm of my hand
(tell me have you seen her)
Do [G] do do do do [Gmaj7] do do do
Do [G6] do do do do [G] do do do
//: Have you [D7sus] seen her? [D7] Tell me have you [G] seen her? ://
