Chorus I know I’m only Shelly’s winter love She only seems to need me now and then I know I’m only Shelly’s winter love But she’s mine alone ’til springtime comes again When springtime comes I know that she’ll be leaving When those friends of hers start calling her from town So I live in wait for Shelly’s winter season When her troubled moments bring her back around Chorus Steel solo When Shelly’s painted world turns cold and stormy It’s then she finds the need to come around To these arms of mine she knows are always waiting But she’ll leave when love has thawed the winter ground I know I’m only Shelly’s winter love She only seems to need me now and then I know I’m only Shelly’s winter love But she’s mine alone ’til springtime comes again
