Winter Moon (Laurindo Almeida, Portia Nelson)

It's a misty winter moon this evening

But it once was warm and bright above
When we touched in the hush of the falling snow
I remember the firelight glow, of love


But it's a colder winter moon this evening
For I learned to play the fool too soon

I couldn't see that I would be alone now
I was blinded by the winter moon


Once we wandered hand in hand
We two, in a crystal winterland
We knew, not a sigh, not a care

It was right to be there, in your arms

But it's a colder winter moon this evening

For I learned to play the fool too soon
I couldn't see that I would be alone now
I was blinded by the winter moon

I was blinded by the winter moon
