Winter Song - 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
