WINTER BLUES

(by Allison Aldrich Smith)

The sky is dark
The air is chill
I got my parka and my mit-
-tens and I think I will

  Step out
  You know I got
  Those winter blues!

The ground is covered
With sheets of ice
I'm thinking words
That aren't so nice

  I gotta drive
  And stay alive despite those win-
  -ter __ bl-ues!

    Blow, blow, thou win-
    -ter __ wi-ind         (rhymes with "kind"!)
    you know thou art not so
    un-__ ki-ind
    But you know, I real-
    -ly __ mi-ind

      The dark and the snow and it's 20 below and 
      my nose and my toes are so totally froze and

I got
To muddle through 
So I'll reach out
To you and you (and you and you)

  Let's huddle warm
  Far from the storm and stop those win-
  -ter __ bl-ues!

    Blow, blow, thou win-
    -ter __ wi-ind         (rhymes with "kind"!)
    you know thou art not so
    un-__ ki-ind
    But you know, I real-
    -ly __ mi-ind

      The dark and the snow and it's 20 below and 
      my nose and my toes are so totally froze and

I got
To muddle through 
So I'll reach out
To you and you (and you and you)

  Let's huddle warm
  Far from the storm and stop those win-
  -ter __ bl-ues!
