Keepsake Lyrics

Keepsake lyrics

by Robin Williamson



I will remember

Even when I'm dead

A long winter's night

You came stealing to my bed



O and the snow was falling

White all on the ground

But it's warm with me

Let fall you velvet gown



Chorus:

Your fater snores

Your mother sighs

We hear them through the wall

I remember a long winter's nigth

I remember it all



Ah whisper you love me

Talk soft and low

With your hands like white birds

And your breasts like snow



How could I be born too soon

Or you be born too late

You rightly lying with me

And your lips against my face
