Say you want me at summer's end
When the evenings are closing in
And the shadows try to stop the sun
From slipping to the horizon
Say you want me in winter's hold
When the fire drives out the cold
And the darkness surrounds our home
Painting ice on the windows
Say you want me when the earth falls silent
And the stars all hold their breath
Say you want me when the light returns
When the frozen forest yearns
For the startling first crack of spring
And I'll never want for anything
Say you want me when the trees are empty
And the birds have long since flown
Say you want me when the light returns
When the frozen forest yearns
For the startling first crack of spring
And I'll never want for anything
I'll never want for anything
I'll never want for anything
