A song for a winter's day

Remember Tommy Roe? Sure you do.
"Sweet little Sheila, my little Sheila, blue eyes and a pony tail."
"Oh, Sweet Pea, won't you dance with me? Won't ya, won't ya dance with me?"
"Hooray for Hazel, she put me down." etc, etc.

Well, it seems that when he took the bubble gum out of his mouth, ol' Tom was capable of digging just a little bit deeper. This is a lovely and needlessly obscure song of his called, "It's Now Winter's Day".  Let's give it a spin.

Everyone is warm inside, their houses in the snow

The mercury is dropping down to minus ten below

Outside it's chilling but inside it's thrilling

With fireplaces burning and records that keep turning

Gone is the green grass, the trees have turned brown

The sky has gone gray, it's now winter's day

The parks they are empty, no squeaks from the swings

No kids are at play, it's now winter's day

And here we are snuggled warm in each others arms

Listening to silent sound as the snow packs the ground

Perfumed hair that I smell, essence that I like so well

You are my winter, the days and the nights

In our hideaway, its now winter's day

Our love will grow stronger, amid winter's chill

Inside we will play, it's now winter's day

And everyone is warm inside, their houses in the snow

The mercury is dropping down to minus ten below

Outside it's chilling but inside it's thrilling

With fireplaces burning and records that keep turning
