A short time I have to be with you, my love But a short time is better than no time, you see So I bring to you all my posessions And would that you'd share them with me I bring one springtime of robins One springtime of robins to sing I bring you one summer of roses One summer of roses I bring I bring you the dry leaves of autumn Dry leaves will be helpful, you know To soften the fall of your snowflakes When I bring you your winter of snow
