Dan Fogelberg Sketches Lyrics

Sketches Lyrics

a. Summer

Late in the summer
When the cottonwood dies
The fields are on fire
With green bottleflies
And I`m still seeing reflections
Of me in your eyes
And why did you leave
Last summer?

Now, the seasons are changing
From summer to fall
And I`ve still got that picture
Hung on my wall
And there`s so much forgotten
And too much recalled
And why did you leave
At all?

b. Winter

Standing beside you
Mid-winter day
Hearts beating close
Together.

Wishing that we`d found
Someway to make
That moment last
Forever.

Standing silent--laughing--
Breathing steam
Gazing down into a freezing
stream...
I saw the face of a child
I saw the face of a child.
