Summer of Roses [Verse 1] A short time I have to be with you my love But a short time is better than no time you see So I bring to you all my possessions And would let you share them with me [Verse 2] I bring you one springtime of robins One springtime of robins to sing I bring you one summer of roses One summer of roses I bring [Verse 3] I bring you the dry leaves of autumn Dry leaves will be helpful you know    To soften the fall of your snowflakes When I bring you your winter of snow     December Day [Verse 1] This looks like a December day     This looks like a time to remember day     And I remember a spring such a sweet tender thing And love’s summer college where the green leaves of knowledge Were waiting to fall with the fall And where September wine Numbed a measure of time Through the tears of October now November’s over And this looks like a December day [Verse 2] This looks like a December day It looks like we’ve come to the end of the way And as my memories race back to love’s eager beginning Reluctant to play with the thoughts of the ending The ending that won’t go away This looks like a December day It looks like we’ve come to the end of the way And as my memories race back to love’s eager beginning Reluctant to play with the thoughts of the ending The ending that won’t go away And this looks like a December day
