Once Upon A Winter Time - 1947

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK 15 Jul 2001

Ev'ry embrace that used to mean such a lot,
You don't seem to have time for any more.
Don't tell me darling you completely forgot,
The laughs, the fun we used to have before.

The snow came tumbling down from the sky,
An east wind was blowing
As ev'ning drew nigh,
Yet I felt as warm as I did in July,
Once upon a Winter time.
The earth was all encased in a shroud,
The beech trees were barren,
their branches were bowed,
But my heart went floating away on a cloud,
Once upon a Winter time.
The sleigh bells were ringing,
The children carol singing,
The old folks were happy and gay,
We sought our solutions
in New Year resolutions,
Guess I'm old fashioned
And funny that way,
Our hearts were not afraid of the night,
The flame of our love
Made the darkness seem bright,
And we were at peace and the world was all right,
Once upon a Winter time.
