Winter Song Lyrics - 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.
