Winter followed me inside
I used to smile at the cold
It always drew you close
Like I am now to the silence of leaves that have fallen

I heard a love song today
I used to feel that way once
I thought I heard your voice
But it was just the echo of a season soon forgotten

Seeing myself walk next to someone younger than me
I see how much I’ve changed
It’s not just my thoughts
It’s the look upon my face

I’ve learned the secret of my life
I thought my time had passed
But now I know it’s not true
Every time a snowflake melts there is another one calling

I don’t understand falling in love so quickly anymore
Every flower is pretty in its own way
But what of the roots we cannot see
Only a true friend can take your place
