Longer shadows

Winter came today
And took the sun away
Leaving me with nothing but
The stars to play
But I'm sure that I won't
Let it bring me down
The rough comes with the smooth
But that's what life's about
Working on the principle
That you'll be here
I can stand alone for quite a while
I know I can learn to live
The changes of the year
Mellow in the river of your smile
I know that the season's Queen
Can hear me
She's bringing longer shadows
To the trees
Perhaps she knows
I'd love to have you near me
So she tries her
Very best to please
Her best to please
I suppose I'll always have
These memories
Till we are together once again
Of the days which were
So long and lonely
Till the longer shadows
And all the golden meadows
Tell me that the time has come
For us to live again
