Winterwood Lyrics


No one can take your place with me
And time has proven that I'm right
There's no place I'd rather be
Than at your place for the nightNo time can pass your sight unseen
No moment steals away unfound
Lifetime lived in such a dream
Floats like a feather to the groundAnd for the first time I've been seeing
The things I'd never notice, without you
And for the first time I'm discovering
The things I use to treasure, about youThe birds like leaves on winter wood
Sing hopeful songs on dismal days
They've learned to live life as they should
They are at peace with natures waysYou are as natural as the night
And all that springs from you is good
And the children born beneath your light
Are like the birds on winter woodAnd for the first time I've been seeing
The things I'd never notice, without you
And for the first time I'm discovering

The things I use to treasure, about you

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Don McLean (born October 2, 1945 in New Rochelle, New York) is an American singer-songwriter, most famous for his 1971 song "American Pie," about the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper. The song spawned the phrase "The Day the Music Died," referring to the day of the crash.

Early in his career, McLean was mentored by the folk legend Pete Seeger, and accompanied Seeger on his Clearwater boat up the Hudson River in 1969 to protest at environmental pollution in the river. The Clearwater campaign was widely credited for improving water quality in the Hudson River.

In 1980, McLean had an international number one hit with the Roy Orbison classic, "Crying." Only following the record's success overseas was it released in the U.S., becoming a top-ten hit in 1981. Orbison himself once described McLean as "the voice of the century," and a subsequent re-recording of the song saw Orbison incorporate elements of McLean's version.

In 1991, McLean returned to the U.K. top ten with a re-issue of "American Pie," which nine years later became a worldwide smash all over again thanks to Madonna's controversial cover.
