WINTER IN AMERICA (1976)

(orig. Leave Love Enough Alone, 1974)

Doug Ashdown & Jimmy Stewart

The harbour's misty in the morning love
Oh how I miss December
The Frangipani opens up to kiss the salty air
I know you're getting ready for the office
I suppose he's still there
With you, sharing our morning sun.

ch:
Winter in America is cold
And I just keep growing older
I wish I could have known
Enough of love to leave love enough alone.

I've learned something of love
I wish I’d known before you left me
But it's funny how you don't know what you've got
Until it's gone
And I hope you're getting all the love you’ve ever wanted
But I wish I was there
With you, sharing our morning sun.

I wake into the sadness of the rain
And making love to strangers
And wishing I had known
Enough of love to leave love enough alone.

Winter in America is cold
And I just keep growing older
I wish I could have known
Enough of love to leave love enough alone.

Winter in America is cold
And I just keep growing older
I wish I could have known
Enough of love to leave love enough alone.
