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
