[Verse 1]
So wild, standing there
With her hands in her hair
I can't help remember
Just where she touched me
There's still no face
Here in her place

So cool, she was like
Jazz on a summer's day
Music, high and sweet
Then she just blew away

[Pre-Chorus]
Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms

[Chorus]
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be

[Verse 2]
Love songs fill the night
But they don't tell it all
Not how lovers cry out
Just like they're dying

Her cries hang there
In time somewhere

Someday, some good wind
May blow her back to me
Some night I may hear
Her like she used to be

[Pre-Chorus]
No, it can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms

[Chorus]
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]
So cool, she was like
Jazz on a summer's day
Music, high and sweet
Then she just blew away

[Pre-Chorus]
Now she can't be that warm
With the wind in her arms

[Chorus]
Valerie, call on me
Call on me, Valerie
Come and see me
I'm the same boy I used to be

[Outro]
I'm the same boy I used to be

Steve Winwood

Steven Lawrence Winwood is most famous for his solo work, including two number one hits Higher Love and Roll with It, and for being the member of two supergroups, Traffic and Blind Faith, along with helping found the Spencer Davis Group at fourteen years old.

Speaking of which, Mozart had nothing on Winwood as a keyboard

As a boy in middle school, little Stevie Winwood played the Hammond synth for Blues gods and Rock & Roll founders like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, when they toured in Britain. We’d list more, but it’s exhausting to link all of those names.
