Hurrying along on the sidewalk
The blustery wind freezing my nose
Feeling the temperature of forty degrees
And a frostbitten feeling in my toes


Trying to get home before my bones turn to ice
Hearing the snow crunch under my feet
Thinking all I need is some freezing rain
To make this cold, winter scene complete


It's funny that we see things differently
And how, with age, our outlooks change
When I was young, I loved winter weather
It didn't seem the least bit strange


I sometimes find it hard to believe
That I had so much fun in the snow
Such chilling memories still enter my mind
Though it was many long years ago


Ah, for childhood and the joys it brought
So many brothers and sisters for playing
Skating, sledding, throwing snowballs
And Kentucky hills made for sleighing


Slipping and sliding on the frozen creek
Staying out just as long as we could
Even with the chores we all had to do
Like bringing in water, coal and wood


Guess I'll enjoy the cold weather in memory
Let the young folk embrace the winter chill
Sit in front of the fire with a cup of cocoa
And take another arthritis pill
