Blogger 365 Day 318 - Karaoke Friday - Cold enough for you?

     Yes, it is getting close to that time of year here.  While the calendar would say that winter is still almost a month away, stepping outside my apartment and nearly falling on black ice would be a surer sign that the seasons are about to change than any sort of arbitrary calendar date.  As if to reinforce that notion, on the way to work today I happened past three different auto accidents.  Mind you my trip to work is all of about 4 miles tops, but already people are showing a vast amount of non skill in driving in these conditions.  If "Driving Miss Daisy" were shot in Pittsburgh today, chances are it would have been about a ten minute movie, Miss Daisy gets into her vehicle and her driver wrecks.  End of picture. 

     Anyway, I needed something to fit with the season, so why not "Winter"?  Seems esy enough.  Take it away.....



Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart, when I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove

I run off where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice, "You must learn to stand up for yourself
'Cause I can't always be around"

He says, "When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
'Cause things are gonna change so fast"

All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, my dear

Boys get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I'm here still waiting
Withering where some snowman was

Mirror, mirror where's the Crystal Palace
But I only can see myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know, dad, the ice is getting thin

When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
'Cause things are gonna change so fast

All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, my dear

Hair is gray and the fires are burning
So many dreams on the shelf
You say, "I wanted you to be proud of me"
I always wanted that myself

When you gonna make up your mind
When you gonna love you as much as I do
When you gonna make up your mind
'Cause things are gonna change so vast

All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, my dear
Never change all the white horses
