Sing Me a Song
Of the seasons
Sing me a song
of the seasons
For love, the love of my life
And a million other reasons
Sing me a song
Make its melody sunny
Whisper sweet things
I’ll always find funny
Let the silence of snow.
Lying deep in a drift
Be the peace I desire
The ultimate gift
Now sing to me softly.
Of long summer days
Let the sun warm my heart
In stunning golden rays
The ice and the snow
Hold the land in a hush
Far removed from all
the haste and rush
Sing me a song
Of the red morning sun
To awaken my body
And let my heart run
Then a sweet lullaby
Of the silence of snow
The polarity of life that
I’m eager to know
Now sing me a song
That I’ll always remember
Of the hot January sun
Till late heat in December
Then deep snow and silence
In winter, I trust
Falls through June and July
And freezing August
Sing me a sunny song.
To lift my heart
Through the light of the day
Before I depart
Then as the hush of the snow
In a cloak of pure white
Signals the end of the day
And the start of the night
