so cold In the frosted window She writes his name In the cold of winter Her breath it does the same He could make it warmer By the calling of her name Winters are now colder They will never Be the same So cold and lonely Ever since She told him She did Break the spell Cold and lonely So cold and lonely Ever since She told him She did . . . . . When she wakens In the morning He's not by her side Restless dreams Of yesterdays And sweet caresses How she loves him! Oh! she loves him And it hurts her To remember She was warm Inside the spell From the frozen window The world still looks the same Lovers walking hand in hand And children playing games Soft the snow that's melting Gently on their face She breaths upon the window And she writes his name She writes his name Calls his name She calls his name So cold and lonely Ever since She told him She did Break the spell So cold and lonely Ever since she told him She did . . . . . Break the spell.

Walking Through November by Michael Karns The wind is kickin up the leaves around my feet The sun was out this mornin but now it's gone to sleep. I'm on my way through November. I'm walkin through November. I'm walkin through November, I'm on my way to Winter's door. The shocks are layed up in my daddy's field and up above the geese they flyin still. The dusty road is now all soaked in mud and now my heart is pumpin and now my heart is pumpin and now my heart is pumpin November's restless blood. You told me you don't want my easy love. You turned away and left me all alone. I'm walkin to December I'm walkin once more I'm walkin through November to Winter's door. copyright 2011

Here Comes Mr. Winter by Gerry Callaghan. Here comes Mr Winter He never does forget To appear as Autumns Calling Miss Summer Home to bed Gone the long Nights playing In the fields Of happiness Sharp his breath His icy words To fill us all With dread But there's A fire glowing No signs of regret Dusted mince pies Clementines And colours Green and red Rosy cheeks In wooly hats Won't let Mr Winter in For here There's cheer Anytime of year In your home Where the year begins So raise a glass And drink a toast For winter's surely here To absent friends As this year ends That another May appear Keep the fire glowing No sign of regrets Dusted mince pies And clementines And colours Green and red Keep the fire glowing No sign of regrets Dusted mince pies Clementines And colours Green and red Here comes Mr Winter.

Once Upon A Time In Winter Before the silent snow there was a little bird named White Wing up in the freezing North She had hatched with her brothers and sisters in her mother's loving nest Watched so many new birds and learned from all the best Oh before she could even fly herself she was losing crafty cats and before she knew how to make a tool she was hunting very fast In the days and weeks that followed her blue eyes soon would see the ground from very far away as she and friends would loop the loop with glee. Now flying seemed so natural, and hunting even more so. finding insects, and berries and bagels, and jelly candies. That was how she met him her favorite friend Dodger. He showed her all around the park where they loved to watch the people. But one day she found a special nut to present to her lifelong mate and was struck by a speeding car while diving down to fetch it. There on the street she lay breathing her very last Dodger hurried to her but soon her time had passed. And up in all the trees. Every bird on earth did gather What did White Wing say? The other birds did wonder. "Watch out for passing cars when watching all those people." Then in solemn silence The birds paid their respect and ascended to the heavens remembering her words.

choose a perfect moment by gerry callaghan (gerrybhoy) We made angels in the snow We had mulled wine cups to go Picked up chestnuts from a stall Walked in the park we had it all Rode the carousel till dark Under Christmas lights we laughed Watched the world go flying by Time stood still for you and i Choose a perfect moment From somewhere in your life And bathe in all it's glory Let that moment fill your mind Fill your mind A single moment frozen in time Postcard painting, winter sublime Wrapped in love the perfect kind And all the goodness our hearts could find When the snow did melt away And winter's calling began to fade I saw you less and less each day Like the snow we turned to grey I chose the perfect moment We shared in our life To bathe in all it's glory i let that moment fill my mind Fill my mind A heart on fire cannot maintain White hot passion, causes pain You were snow and i was rain I guess we both got washed away So choose a perfect moment From somewhere in your life And bathe in all it's glory Let that moment fill your mind Choose a perfect moment From somewhere in your life And bathe in all it's glory Let that moment fill your mind Fill your mind We made angels in the snow We had mulled wine cups to go Picked up chestnuts from a stall Walked in the park we had it all

There's a chill in the air by the Churchill's front door And outside the pavement is lashed by the rain But we've got a few hours afore we must go Back to hauling our cargo again BMW say that we're slow on the job But our hard work's something they never will know For we drag all their cars through the storm and the gale With a porter before we're to go CHORUS The Diamond's too old and too weak in the beam They're to leave her for dead at the end of this run But we'll have us a glass of strong porter for her And we'll pray she delivers in sun /CHORUS The hold now is empty, so a tiger-like roar Fills our ears every time the waves buffet her bones But we still carry on, for we're making for Kiel And we won't ever leave her alone Curse the fog and the downpour, the skipper can't see And the forelight is broken, something they won't repair I remember the time she was gleaming and new Never saw you a hauler so fair CHORUS At a quarter to six we all heard a great crash And the rushing of water prevailed o'er the blow So we rushed to the pumps and swore blue at the ship Who'd struck us and left us a hole Oh, we worked as though we had each one been possessed Every second that passed brought us closer to Hell But the sea's in our blood and the ship is our home So we grafted and fought with the swell CHORUS Now there came up the biggest wave I've ever seen A freak caused by gales more like hurricanes And it smashed us all down and the Diamond's capsized And we're not making Ramsgate again CHORUS For my family's left back in Thanet alone I can hear my bairns crying, my wife starts to run As the radio says that a ship has gone down And I drift to the light of the sun /CHORUS

Winters Sunrise after the stars have gone to bed and the moon has left the old homestead the first crack of dawn, alights the land and the early birds begin to chant and sing of winters homecoming brighter than the summer sun with naked branches, their shadows cast like a mirror of time, so vast the motion picture, stilled for a frame a time of remembering warmer days, and dust clouds of stars and how they would enrich our hearts yet there's something enchanting, about romancing the cool morning air a breeze of life, to let you know we are still here to sit by the fire, and sing along, with the birds of good winter cheer rittmo'

Winter Walk The wooded walk opens Before you and I The towering oaks Are naked now Two feet once kicked pine cones Now they stand upon sod Where the air filled with passion There is none. While Lent progresses We’ve given something up The leaves meet our dim gaze From the grounds cover slip. Yet through designed care Under leathery coats Emerge green and bare Daffodil shoots Chorus: We were one Now we are two. We had romance Now there is none, there is none. Copyright 2011 Michael Karns

Winter Lake lyrics by Michael Karns copyright 2011 Like a woodcut from olden days The cat tails are our silent witness Robin has left for the South islands Cardinal hangs around with us one last turn to the place we like there she is, our Winter Lake Chorus: In just a short time the cider's mulling But first its time to hike down to a cove where We are on Winter Lake A deer couple nearby watches us in passing by Bridge/Chorus Now after a pleasing dinner popcorn and a game will see us through a lovely view of moonrise over Winter Lake

Roses in Winter by Michael Karns Copyright 2011 Sun is setting low, the fire is burning bright The moon is coming up o’er freshly fallen snow. The table is set, glasses filled with wine Now the time approaches, for us to dine But first just let me gaze, at your earrings in the light. Your beautiful dress, the one I Liked. Remember how we danced, you floated in my arms. A jewel box dancer, in life size Chorus: I don’t recall, when you got weak. I don’t remember the painful splinter. Of losing you, my world moved down and down And now all I have are roses in Winter. So lets us drink a toast, bring the candles close Let me think only, of who I love the most I only see your face, only hear your laugh Feel your warming hands, all around our place A part of me can see, that this is all a sham. But never enough to, let me be the same. Chorus:

Winter's Mood lyrics by Rittmo' © 2011 - cabin fever can be fustrating the days get dark so fast, and the night is long it gets better when you sit beside me by the fireplace or when we're by a pictire window, watching the snow flakes - see how easy it is to change winter's foreboding mood here's food for thought, let's hope we get snowed in perhaps you'll let me into your heart, should I dare to intrude and in advance we could experience spring's new beginning - we'll cellebrate with a pinch of sweet vermouth winter's mood, has become so enticing outside it snows, inside our love knows the truth winter's mood has become so inviting - rittmo'

I’ve got antifreeze in my blood They say it’s poisonous that might be true But my engine is always warm for you My blue flame girl I know that journey may be hazardous Hail storms dangerous ice daggers and blizzards On a bed of snow under Winter’s pine, My blue flame girl Chorus: Blue flame girl With steel grey eyes Blue flame girl Meet me, where frost and thaw collide Bear witness blue flame girl This is risky business, we may be frozen in time Artifacts of an ancient love Taken to the nines And though the history will record us as fools A pair of loons when lovers walk this ancient path they’ll be warmed by the blue flame on Winter’s moon. Chorus

I Dream Of Christmas - when I dream of Christmas it's not the Christmas tree though I love the Christmas tree it's not the children but they're all so pretty and I love them too it's not the presents we give though the unwrapping is so much fun what I love most about Christmas is when day is done is to lie alone with you with an exhausted smile, a sigh, and a love so true - rittmo'

Red Fire Truck (c) Emmrich 2011 Back long ago, I remember a Christmas season my dad always saying that things happen for a reason one year I prayed and hoped, besides a GI Joe, I would get my heart's desire in that toy store window I said "God, I know you're near please tell Santa I was good this year, and can you ask him for me please... (chorus) bring me that red fire truck with the dalmatian and bells and ladders and a siren and you'll never hear me crying if you do this for me you'll have no regrets cause I'll never ask for anything else (verse) Dad got laid off in November tough to pay bills in December mama cried, Dad said, don’t worry, it’s time for gifts went to joe's last chance junkyard scrounged for wheels and truck parts we spent the week fixing, painting, making it look sleek (lift) As I sanded, my daddy hummed His favorite Christmas tune while in my mind the words went (chorus again) (bridge/lift) although I knew what was coming I still ran down to unwrap I swear it was my best Christmas ever now 30 years later, my son’s request brought back that memory. I guess I could just buy it, but my son deserves a better gift from me You see, he asked me please: (chorus again and tag)

Christmas Prayer by T.C. Elliott copyright 2011 T.C. Elliott Born on a winter's day But what date she just can't say Always thought she had it rough But now she thinks she has enough She's livin in her second home She's by herself but never alone She shares a room with two boys they share their food, clothes and toys Her mother said she'd come back for her some day Soon as she got set up somewhere That girl can only think about her mom tonight As she says her Christmas prayer There's a girl who is all alone There's a lot of pain in this home They tease her cuz she's got one hand She wonders. She can't understand. Her mother said she'd come back for her some day Soon as she got set up somewhere That girl can only think about her mom tonight As she says her Christmas prayer

Christmas Is For The Children - there's a lot of talk most of it true about how the sanctity Of Christmas has become a mad rush to human indecency - but I say hush - stop all the bah humbug what good can come from it give your child a hug and listen to the outpouring of love - of all the things your child will forget there's one thing they should remember without the slightest inkling of regret and that's the 25'th of December in the history of earth counting seconds by the millions for all that we are worth Christmas is for the Children - Michigan sleigh rides in California kites that fly a southern belle all dolled up kids by the tree like wide eyed pups - colourful lights adorn the night the sidewalks a caroling serenade high pitched voices reaching new heights please don't rain on a child's parade - Michigan sleigh rides in California kites that fly a southern belle all dolled up kids by the tree like wide eyed pups - in the history of earth counting seconds by the millions for all that we are worth Christmas is fo the Children - rittmo'

Feeling Lonely In Christmas Lyrics by Michael Karns copyright 2011 Everywhere people Are struggling in the street While over at the mall We have everything we need Some of them are kids Without a home All of them Are looking for Christmas With their wistful hope Still the pain is Heavy in their heart I am feeling lonely in Christmas Thinking of those who have lost A job or a retirement Or a soldier fighting in a cause Still the pain is Heavy in their hearts I am feeling lonely I am feeling lonely I am feeling lonely in Christmas Wondering where Christmas is at all I am feeling lonely in Christmas Why can’t Christmas be for all?

On This Christmas Eve - On this Christmas Eve I sit here wishing I was alive in the times of John to be a deciple to he who bore witness to be among the few who were chosen to do the business the sacred business of protecting baby Jesus - to smell the air to taste the water that He did breathe that He did drink to think in the moment of absolute purity to know with complete surety the world was changing an amazing rearranging in the name of the Lord - to be a part of the miracle of the opening of heaven's gate where life wasn't at the end of a sword where the persecuted would recieve their just reward to be certain that eternal life was there for the taking to awaken in Eden's simple splendor to know I was loved by he who I adored by he who I adored - time unfortunately hasn't changed much evil too easily finds the hearts of men I wonder out loud, why all haven't felt His touch but I truly believe, it's not a matter of time, but when - On this Christmas Eve I sit here wishing I was alive in the times of John to be a deciple to he who bore witness to be among the few who were chosen to do the business the sacred business of protecting baby Jesus - rittmo'

Christmas Quilt it was a waffle sky with balloon clouds I thought it would snow but the sun popped out there would be no whitened pines no sleigh rides down winding hills but those memories still shine from when you and I made that Christmas quilt straight one hundred percent wool no polyester, not then, not ever and it warmed our souls till empty was full of every seed we would ever need one of these years the white will light our way again but we need not be waiting, anticipating, cause that Christmas, way back when has no end and though the Christmas sun looks fine reflected in your eyes I can still see the snowman we built, standing next to that Christmas quilt it was a waffle sky with balloon clouds I thought it would snow but the sun popped out and a winter rose with a smile never to wilt fell smack dab in the middle of our Christmas quilt rittmo'
