Hey Sweet Annie 
Don't take it so bad 
You know the summer's coming soon 
Though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand 
And it seems the sun is hiding from the moon 
Your daddy told you 
When you were a girl 
The kind of things that come to those who wait 
So give it a rest girl 
Take a deep breath girl 
And meet me at the Bay State tonight 
And the snow is coming down 
On our New England town 
And it's been falling all day long 
What else is new 
What could I do 
I wrote a valley winter song 
To play for you 
And late December 
Can drag a man down 
You feel it deep in your gut 
Short days and afternoons spent pottering around 
In a dark house with the windows painted shut 
Remember New York 
Staring outside 
As reckless winter made its way 
From State Island to the Upper West Side 
Whiting out our streets along the way 
And the snow is coming down 
On our New England town 
And it's been falling all day long 
What else is new 
What can I do 
But sing this valley winter song 
I wrote for you  |
