Lyrics
V1 We watched in the spring as the rain drops fell.
The flowers in the forest had a scented smell
Next to you they couldn't compare.
Apple blossom petals fluttered like snow and it turned white everywhere.
V2 We watched in the summer as the leaves burst out.
Picnicked in the park and just lay about.
Took two glasses for wine to share.
Dandelion puffs floated in the wind and it turned white everywhere.
BRIDGE Seasons come and seasons go,
And colors change around us.
And as time passes, our love grows
Like the beauty that surrounds us.
V3 We watched in the winter til our lips turned blue.
Then went inside to the family room.
And snuggled while the fire warmed the air.
We looked out the window, the snow was swirling and it turned white everywhere.
BRIDGE Seasons come and seasons go,
And colors change around us.
And as time passes, our love grows
Like the beauty that surrounds us.
V4 In the autumn of our lives, we watch together
How brilliant colors change with the weather.
As I run my fingers through your silken hair,
Like leaves in nature, ours is changing color and turns white everywhere.
