Lyrics

Each February
A shadow would tarry
Across an old doghouse with a bird on the wing
But the day that the snow cleared
And green reappeared
A beagle would honor the first rite of spring

So save me a dance, snoopy my dear
Springtime is over, and summer is near
Stay with me, won?t you, snoopy my dear
Though I may grow older, you?ll always be?here

Peppermint patty and charlie go walking
Out to the park for a game in the sun
Nine innings later and chuck?s still a loser
But by playing his heart out we all know he won
And though none of us know whether he?ll get it right
I know that you?ll still see him out there, flying his kite

Linus and I used to sit under moonlight
Waiting for someone who never quite came
That pumpkin of greatness had a Hallowe?en waitlist
So we sat and we shivered as the night slid away
And though his blanket may tatter he?ll still hold it close
?cuz security?s something we never outgrow

When autumn falls and it?s time to kick that pigskin around
There you?ll find lucy, with one knee and a football on the ground
And then there?s charlie?
And then there?s charlie brown?falling down again
And then there?s charlie brown?falling down?

Instrumental

Snoopy traces figure eights on the ice he knows and loves
And though his master?s left this place there?s still a smile upon his face
His memory shines like the spring that?s coming just around the bend
And so long as we remember, his life will never end

So save me a dance, snoopy my dear
Springtime is over, and summer is near
Stay with me, won?t you, snoopy my dear
Though I may grow older, you?ll always?be here
