It was just a child
Holdin 'his grandmother by the hand;
So much to do in this big world
And Dreamin 'of a fairy-tale land.
How he loved that his grandmother
tuckin 'every night.
Showin 'they know everything they needed to
A "right to know how it goes.
Winter nights ... Oh, winter nights ...
Somehow I never finished.
Grandma still has the soft and dense
With his love of sweet, warm and quiet.
Oh, as over the yearsfast.
Summer flew down quickly.
The next thing I knew they were passed 40 years
And the sky ... shadow.
As the dark clouds hanging over their lives
They sat and talked for a while ';
Each time, the more dim
Granny Walkin 'on their last miles.
Winter nights ... Oh, winter nights ...
Cold and dark before his eyes.
Was tuckin "granny floor
And Cryin ', as you said goodbye.
You know, momma, leaving the city when it was aGirls;
For what seemed without a care
Maybe somewhere in a fabulous off-fairty world.
You know, sometimes life does not seem appropriate.
Often wondered if their mother was
And what could be off doin '.
E 'was difficult to get them out of their momma thought
Even if they have left a life destroyed.
Winter nights ... Oh, winter nights ...
Somehow we never finished
Tho "The only lesson to leave momma
Fall was not as if ya do not go steady.
Then one day theirDad called them,
Momma told her that he thought had disappeared.
She could not know exactly what to say or do
'Cuz with momma, she had never seen before dawn.
Even tho leave 'his momma for a long period
He tried to understand why
as ash was holdin 'foreigner, Sittin' in church
He was tryin 'not to cry so hard to find.
Winter nights ... Oh, winter nights ...
Cold and dark before his eyes.
She remained silent, with a stranger 'is lyin,
Crying when he told herGoodbye.
Where are the days go their spring?
Then he saw the autumn sky
Sunshine went, and she trembled;
Feelin 'cold, knowin' almost dark.
She thought of her as she held back tears.
The doctors said they had done everything possible;
Days and nights were flown over the years,
Lyin 'there, their hands were holdin'.
Winter nights ... Oh, winter nights ...
Cold and dark before his eyes.
Smiling sweetly tho 'it was his timego
And cried when he kissed goodbye.
Winter nights ... Oh, winter nights ...
Cold and dark before his eyes;
Keep the summer as long as possible
Before you know it, inside rollin '.. Winter Sky.
