An original song I wrote back in 2004 about the breakup with my first serious Girlfriend


When I See You Walking
Written by: Drew Eddy Jones
Date: 2004
Song No: 7


LYRICS ONLY


When I see you walking
When I see you walking by
I feel I’m slowly dying
Like I’ll just lay down and cry
Where have all the days gone
When I used to call you mine
I feel my heart aching
It will be like that for some time

Now tell me babe
Do I ever cross your mind
Or do you think of me
At late hours of the night
Has our love come and gone
Have you forgotten what it ment
I just can’t help but wonder
At all the time we spent

I still think of you
I still have you on my mind
Some days it hurts so bad
I think of you all the time
Where have all the days gone
When I used to call you mine
I feel my heart aching
It will be like that for some time


CHORDS ONLY:

E-, C, G, D, E-

PERFORMANCE NOTES:

I can still sing this song in E- as of
March 2025 which means that playing a G
harp works with this song.
Typically that is how I preformed it live
with the harp filling the gaps between the
verses.


NOTES:
I wrote this song while processing feelings
I had following my breakup with R*******
A********, who was my first serious girlfriend.
It was a breakup that neither of us wanted
but was forced on us by her mother and it
tortured me for months, years, a long time.
My heart took a long time to give up on us.
