Winter's Snowy Place

When spring comes it melts the mountain snow
the bare trees have leaves again to blow
but the bitterness of the love of last year
frozen within my heart remains still here
no matter where I've been or where I go
my love will always be buried in last year's snow

I do not long for a lover's meeting place
or my arms yearn for last year's lost embrace
memories alone live on for me now here
no one again to come so close, so near
nor eyes to gaze in love upon a face
who does not belong in winter's snowy place
