Winter Song

When the summer fled past my window

And autumn's chill was in the air

There's a special kind of lonesome

'Round that ending time of year

When the leaves fell

And they drifted 'neath the trees

That soon were bare

I felt that wind blow ever colder

And suddenly you were there

We laughed and scuffled

While the snow fell

And the cold gave your cheeks a glow

And in your arms come evening

A kind of peace I know

Often I'd wake at midnight

Mid some icy winter storm

But then I would find you beside me

And you made the night seem so warm

Now I go my way, you go your way

Now that the winter's come and gone

But somehow with the springtime

Your golden warmth still lingers on
