Winter in Paradise

Winter in Paradise

As the cold wind encircles your heart
Your love for this place so deep
In thoughts your memories conjure visions
Of warmer times

Even with my way with words
I usually have to state my case
I can’t describe my feelings now
All beauty has been erased
I can’t express my sorrow
To see an old friend go
As the sun turns it’s cold-shoulder on me once again

Delusions of splendor
Of times gone past
No one left in sight
No one left to ask

All the color and the beauty
Have left us once again
Come again some other day
To shine on us my long lost friend
Don’t want to talk about it
Talk just brings me down
Let my memories take me back
Out of sight and out of sound

Winter in paradise
Winter in paradise

As the cold wind encircles your heart
Desire for warmth so deep
Your mind races to future thoughts
Of the summer days return
