I WILL WARM YOUR HEART

Autumn makes a woollen blanket for the Sun
The trees are red, the birds will soon depart
But never fear the Autumn weather, precious one
For I will warm your heart, warm your heart

We'll take a walk where we can watch the river run
As leaves, like memories, go sailing by
You'll never feel the Autumn chill, my precious one
For I will warm your heart, warm your heart

You'll have my hand, warm upon your shoulders
But if you find the wind a little too cold
I'll enfold you in my arms, holding you to my heart

And if we see ice forming on a lily pond
And there are early flakes of drifting snow
I'll simply have you put my heavy sweater on
Then I will warm your heart, warm your heart

We'll hurry home and close the windows tight
Build a fire and ignore the storm
And with love as bright as firelight
I will keep you warm, warm

The firewood's gone, I'll take apart the table
Break up the picture frames and even the chairs
And feed them to the flames, saving only the bed

Autumn makes a woollen blanket for the sun
The trees are waiting for the Spring to start
And when the snow is all around us, precious one
Then I will warm your hands and I will warm your heart
