[Verse 1] Will you speak to me of all the green and good things When inside winter cold is grey and breathin Will you know that once upon a time is always In that sometime mornin when you hear me singin [Chorus] But the trees wont rest their arms And lean to whisper What the night has covered Dark and dead and still [Verse 2] Then the baby cries to feel his mothers shoulder Will know a sweet and gentle song to touch his ear And the warm and lovin arms will enfold him As you rock him at your breast and keep him near [Chorus] But the trees wont rest their arms And lean to whisper What the night has covered Dark and dead and still [Verse 3] I will sit and watch the window in the darkness And Ill hold that dream and lovin song till summer If the trees will tell the name that I may call to And spring reflect her face in its still water [Chorus] But the trees wont rest their arms And lean to whisper What the night has covered Dark and dead and still
