Summer of Roses / December Day

A short time I have to be with you my love
But a short time is better than no time and you see
And I bring to you all my possessions
Would that you'd share them with me

I bring one springtime of robins
One springtime of robins to sing
I bring you one summer of roses
One summer of roses I bring

I bring you the dry leaves of autumn
Dry leaves will be helpful you know
To soften the fall of your snowflakes
When I bring you your winter of snow

This looks like a December day
Looks like a time to remember day
I remember a spring such a sweet tender thing
And love's summer college
Where the green leaves of knowledge
Were waiting to fall with the fall

And where September wine numbed a measure of time
Through the tears of October
Now November's over and this looks like a December day
This looks like a December day
It looks like we've come to the end of the way

And as my memories race back to loves eager beginning
Reluctant to play with the thoughts of the ending
The ending that won't go away

And as my memories race back to loves eager beginning
Reluctant to play with the thoughts of the ending
The ending that won't go away
And this looks like a December day
