Lyrics
SEASONS OF LOVE
(IN YOUR ARMS)
Words and Music
by Mark Davies
Verse 1: When rains of Spring awaken
Still beds of flowers and streams,
Old rhythms long forsaken
Stir memories and dreams.
Verse 2: Warm Summer suns bring song to pasture
On wings that soar unafraid,
Love?s melody of laughter,
Bright joys that soon must fade.
Chorus 1: But ask me not the reasons why
The seasons pass, as years roll by,
Just hold me in your arms.
Verse 3: Dry leaves in Autumn chatter
And whisper to those who might care
For lovers? dreams now scattered,
For limbs and souls laid bare.
Chorus 2: I?ll sing to you as evening fades,
I?ll light a candle, draw the shades,
And hold you in my arms.
Instrumental
Verse 4: Pale Winter?s hand lies heavy
On Earth?s cold, shimmering breast.
She turns and soon makes ready
Sweet fruits of love?s caress.
Chorus 3: So hold me now, forever more,
When Winter knocks at our back door,
Just hold me in your arms.
Repeat Chorus 3, rit.
