lyrics

It's time to put the lining in your coat
The cold is coming; The cold is coming soon
It's time to find your mittens and your scarf
The leaves are falling; The buds no longer bloom

I'm scared of feeling low when cold wind starts to blow
It happens almost every time
The sun's too far away and the whole world turns to grey
And every day's an upward climb

But maybe
Maybe
This time I'll be fine, 'cause...

You are the sunlight to me
When winter makes me cold and numb
Then you are all I need
So let darkness come, 'cause love,
You are the sun

I'll crawl into my room and fashion a cuccoon
And sleep a week, or maybe three or four
But then you will appear and whisper in my ear
Remind me there's still something I adore

So maybe
Maybe
This time I'll smile a little more, 'cause...

You are the sunlight to me
When winter makes me cold and numb
Then you are all I need
So let darkness come, 'cause love
You are the sun
You are the sun
You are the sun
Hmm...

It's time to put the lining in your coat
But I'm not worried; Not a bit this time
It's time to find your mittens and your scarf
But I'll stay warm as long as you stay mine

So let darkness come
