Winter

Winter Is
by Young Garnet

Winter is the sparkling snow,
Untouched on the ground.
Winter is the time to build
A snowman, fat and round.

Winter is the long, long nights
And the very short days.
Winter has many beautiful sights
If you bother to look their way.

Winter is a season
That seems so very long.
Winter is the reason
Why summer moves along.

Winter Love
by Grown-up Garnet

I grabbed my love,
Brushed off the snow,
I said, “My dear, the fire’s aglow...
So toasty warm
That I don’t suppose
You’d mind if I took off
Some of your clothes...

‘Cause it makes me hot
When the temperature drops
When the brandy flows
And the fireplace glows.
Tender touches and kisses
Fulfilling my wishes
Warm winter love
Melting the snow.

We’ll start with your coat
And then begin
Through the layers
...There, finally! Your kissable skin!
Then further on down
‘Cause after you’re kiss’d
I’ll unwrap the present
That’s first on my list...

‘Cause it makes me hot
When the temperature drops
When the brandy flows
And the fireplace glows.
Tender touches and kisses
Fulfilling my wishes
Warm winter love
Melting the snow.

Spring fever’s fine
And you already know
That summer love
Leaves me all aglow,
But I’d trade each one
For my Winter Desire
Cold winds
Deep snow
And love by the fire.

‘Cause it makes me hot
When the temperature drops
When the brandy flows
And the fireplace glows.
Tender touches and kisses
Fulfilling my wishes
Warm winter love
Melting the snow.
