Winter, how we'll miss you when you're gone, when you're gone;
We'll miss your frozen nights when we raised our Solstice songs;
We'll miss those arctic winds that froze away our sins,
Winter, how we'll miss you when you're gone.

Chorus:
Winter, how we'll miss you when you're gone, when you're gone;
Why ever did you lin-ger, oh so long, oh so long?
For it caused our hearts to grieve when we thought you'd never leave;
Winter, how we'll miss you when you're gone.

Winter, how we'll miss you when you're gone, when you're gone;
We'll miss those frozen steps as we stumbled out each morn;
We'll miss your driving snow while ten degrees below;
Winter, how we'll miss you when you're gone. (CHO)

Winter, how we'll miss you when you're gone, when you're gone;
We only wonder why you hung about so long?
Your darkness filled the day as sunlight died away;
Winter, how we'll miss you when you're gone. (CHO)

Winter, how we'll miss you when you're gone, when you're gone;
We'll walk about in T-shirts and have our sandals on;
We'll slog through the March mud and wade through the spring floods;
Winter, how we'll miss you when you're gone. (CHO)
