This song--is it still a song if you've never heard the melody? Maybe just a poem--was written a long time ago, back in April. I imagined a joyful winter holiday celebration with my friends and family.
And you know what? I still believe that that can happen.
This year has been tough on all of us, but as long as we can still feel a bit of joy and anticipation for a brighter future, I think we'll be alright again. I hope so.
The wind howled, into the night
While we sat, by the firelight
As red, as a summer rose
We haven't been this close
Since last December
We were told, we had to part
I alone, picked up the parts
Of my broken heart
But now, as we are playing cards
I smile warmer, than I remember
Cause we, are constellations
Strung together, no matter how far
All of us, throughout the nations
We will make pictures with one shining star
At a time
We will dine throughout the night
We will shine, cause we are filled with light
We will dance, under the patterned sky
She and he and you and I
In Wintertime
In Wintertime,
Oh, oh
The daytime is falling fast
Soon yesterday, is a year past
So when the time has come, I look back
To when, there was nothing to lack
We were told, we had to part
But we kept in touch, through it all
You guys still, touch my heart
Through tears and laughter, fears and all
We will dine throughout the night
We will shine, cause we are filled with light
We will dance, under the patterned sky
She and he and you and I
In Wintertime
In Wintertime...
Someday, we'll be together once more
Into a place with an open door
And our shoes will hit the floor
Dancing until our feet are sore
We will sing until we cannot
We will eat until our hearts are full
Join us where the feast is hot
We'll be there, and our hearts are full
We'll be there, and our hearts are full
We'll be there, we'll be there
We'll be there...
Because together, we'll always be
We've been through a lot, under the stars
Acceptance and joy, we'll come to see
As we go on healing each other's scars
Every time
We will dine throughout the night
We will shine, cause we are filled with light
We will dance, under the patterned sky
She and he and you and I
In Wintertime
In Wintertime,
Oh, oh
