LONG WARM WINTER

Verse

Cold hard winds are blowing the temperatures are dropping low

Instead of rain or shine the forecast promises rain or snow

Smiles come easy on warm sunny days in June.

If I try maybe I could learn to smile in winter darkness to.

Chorus

So here’s to a long warm winter

Are you going to let me in?

It’s so hard to keep warm in the winter

We all need somewhere warm to turn

(we all need someone to whom we can turn)

Verse

The crunching sounds as I walk through the virgin snow

Bring memories back from my childhood when everything was much much more

The snow would fall like a curtain for weeks unend.

Burying all cars and houses in snow drives as high as mountains.

Chorus

So here’s to a long hard winter

Let the snow fall and lock me in

With mom and dad my brother and sister

It was such a good time back when…

Middle eight

Crystals of cold ice falling

Childrens hearts jump with joy and

Snowmen move into peoples gardens all over town

Brightness of night with stars

The moon is so bright and large

Grown ups curse the cold season is so impractical

Verse

Best of wishes for the holydays and the New Year

A time for making people smile, and children big and small ones cheer
