Winter Song
Head And Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We don't know how we feel
We're just prayin' that we're doin' this right
Though that's not the way it seems
Summer gone, now winter's on its way
I will miss the days we had
The days we had
The days we had
Oh, I'll miss the days we had
Loving, leaving, it's too late for this now
Such esteem for each has gone
Has time driven our season away?
'Cause that's the way it seems
In the world of the speech that is new
I'll be back again to stay
Again to stay
I'll be back again to stay
Again to stay
I'll be back again to stay

today i lost my dog; my best friend and comforter. we assume he got cancer over the summer, and he passed this morning. this song makes me feel connected to him. i’ll remember him when i listen to it

Sorry about your loss. Losing a dog might as well be losing a family member. Such a kick in the gut....

This song comes to me 2 weeks after losing my best friend Ivy. It reminds me of the wonderful days we had together running in the yard, playing ball, and just cuddling. She held on as long as she could. I will love you forever.
