i hold on to distant summer days
they keep me warm during these nights of snow

and i’m not the only one who hasn’t forgotten
these memories lay restless still
as the aging leaves on trees still know

the color of your weary eyes
and as the final embers glow

the wind sings songs with beauty only to be matched by your sweet voice

during these lonely nights of snow
your absence leaves me cold
but i feel as if you should know
i hold you closer still
