BRIDGE: Asus A Dm Asus A7sus -A7 Dm For seasons come & seasons go. Bring forth the rain - the sun & snow- Gm F make Valerie a woman. And Valerie is lonely. Em Am No more to roam on the snow hills of Hienton. Em Am Undecided with the guardians of the older generation. F C A doormat was a sign of welcome - in the winter months to come.

Bb/D Gm7/Eb DsusD For your thighs were the cushions of my love and yours for each other. Bb Ab The songs still are sung. It was fun to be young. Eb F Gm But please don't be sad where you are.
