It's been a long season Of ice and of snow The frozen glow as the sun slips away I pull the blankets up And cover my head I'll just stay in bed another day When the winter wind is blowing again And the arctic air is keeping me in I have faith that spring is around the bend And the daffodils will appear again And the daffodils will appear in the new year I know that underneath They're lying in place To show their face up to the sun Like all the music in My tired heart Waiting to start when winter is done When the winter wind is blowing again
And the arctic air is keeping me in I have faith that spring is around the bend And the daffodils will appear again And the daffodils will appear in the new year Falling rain will wash the snow away And clouds will fade from the sky And I will find the voice that hasn't made a sound Since the maple trees dropped their leaves Upon the frozen ground When the winter wind is blowing again And the arctic air is keeping me in I have faith that spring is around the bend And the daffodils will appear again And the daffodils will appear in the new year
