Winter Song
Composer(s): Harry Chapin
Performer(s): Harry Chapin



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
