Season Suite:(summer - Fall - Winter - Spring)

This medley was first released on the Rocky Mountain High album. It is the only
album it has been released on. Summer also appears on the An Evening With
album.

Summer

Silently the morning mist is lying on the
water
Captive moonlight waiting for the dawn
Softly like a babys breath a
breeze begins to whisper
The sun is coming, quick you must be
gone
Smiling like a superstar the morning comes in singing
The promise of
another sunny day
And all the flowers open up to gather in the sunshine
I
do believe that summers here to stay

And oh I love the life within
me
I feel part of everything I see
And oh I love the life around me
A
part of everything is here in me

Riding on the tapestry of all there is
to see
So many ways and oh so many things
Rejoicing in the differences,
thers no one just like me
Yet as different as we are were still the
same

And oh I love the life within me
I feel part of everything I
see
And oh I love the life around me
A part of everything is here in
me

Fall

Reflections on the water like shadows in my mind
Speak
to me of passing days and nights and passing time
The falling leaves are
whispering winters on its way
I close my eyes remembering the warmth of
yesterday

It seems a shame to see September swallowed by the
winter
And more than that its oh so sad to see the summer end
And though
the changing colors are a lovely thing to see
If it were mine to make the
change Id let it be

But I dont remember hearing anybody asking
me

Winter

Its cold and its getting colder
Its gray and white
and winter all around
And oh I must be getting older
All this snow is
trying to get me down

Theres a fire in the corner slowly
dyin
Sometimes I just dont feel like goin on
And yet I know its more than
worth the waiting
For another chance to see the summer sun

Come on,
shine on me!

Late Winter, Early Spring
(When Everybody Goes to
Mexico)

(Instrumental only)

Spring

Open up your eyes and
see a brand new day
A clear blue sky and brightly shining sun
Open up
your ears and hear the breezes say
Everything thats cold and gray has
gone
Open up your hands and feel the rain come down
Taste the wind and
smell the flowers sweet perfume
Open up your mind and let the light come
in
The earth has been reborn and life goes on

Do you care whats
happening around you
Do your senses know the changes when they come
Can
you see yourself reflected in the seasons
Can you understand the need to
carry on

Riding on the tapestry of all there is to see
So many ways
and oh so many things
Rejoicing in the differences, theres no one just like
me
Yet as different as we are were still the same

And oh I love the
life within me
I feel a part of everything I see
And oh I love the life
within me
A part of everything is here in me
A part of everything is here
in me
A part of everything is here in me
