Fred Kewley - Winter Song lyrics

When the summer fled past my window And autumn's chill was in the air There was 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 cheecks 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 And then I would find you Beside me And you made the night seem so warm Now I go my way And you go your way Now that the winter's come and gone But somehow With the springtime Your golden warmth still lingers on
