Summer Me, Winter Me
Sarah Vaughan · Other Songs - Sarah Vaughan
And with your kisses, morning me, evening me
And as the world slips far away, a star away
Forever me with love
Wonder me, wander me
Then by a fire pleasure me, peaceful me
And in the silence quietly, whisper me
Forever me with love
And every day I'll gentle you, tender you
And, oh, the way I'll velvet you, clover you
I'll wrap you up and ribbon you, rainbow you
And shower you with shine
Suddenly, magically, we found each other
There we were, here we are
I plan to let you happy me, summer me, winter me, always
Then suddenly, magically, we found each other
There we were, here we are
I plan to let you happy me, summer me, winter me, always be mine
