lyrics

It was a cold, cold winter
The snow never stopped coming down
We had nowhere to go, no
No nothing happening all over town
We stayed in our tiny room
Never bothered to turn on the light
It was her and me under the blankets
Every single day and every night

This photograph is my proof
There was that afternoon
When things were still good between us
And she embraced me, oh yes she did
And we were so happy
It did happen, she did love me
Look see for yourself

We sent out for our groceries
Let the trash pile up on the floor
Moved the chairs and the dresser
So we couldn't get out the front door
Made lots of loving, plowed through a stack of magazines
Fell asleep in the afternoons, ate a bag of jelly beans

I'm not sentimental but I sure do miss those days
I remember her laughter
And the way she could turn a phrase
I'm not sentimental but I sure wish that we go back
Just for that little something-something
That these days seem to lack

Yeah I still have that picture
Even though it is faded with time
It really caught that moment in a way that's truly sublime
I am there smiling and you can see her smiling too
Too bad we had to leave it behind
And bid each other a sad adieu
