Winter Song - Harry Chapin (1972)

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.

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.


Songwriters: Harry Chapin
