Lyrics

I wasnÂ?t sure I would make it
ItÂ?s been a long hard haul
Been holding on all winter
It started late last fall

The ice is slowly breaking up
Signs of life , bits of green
A few brave birds have now returned
ThereÂ?s Water in the stream

The summers seem much shorter
The older that I grow
This Winter seemed less like a friend
At times a mortal foe

IÂ?ve carried your heart in my pocket
I take it where ever I go
I pretend somehow I can thaw it
By what means I do not know

The ground will soften The frost will leave
These things we can foresee
Will your heart stay cold all summer
Will it ever warm again to me

IÂ?ll keep your heart here in my pocket
Burn My chest itÂ?s Frosty bite
IÂ?ll pretend somehow it keeps me warm
Though ItÂ?s cold as night

Will your heart stay cold all summer
I trust the sun will always shine
Could That bank of ice just melt away
Could your heart once more be mine

Well IÂ?m holding your heart in my pocket
Maybe there someday it will thaw
I still believe in the sunshine
Winter spring summer and fall
