[Chorus]
D G I don't know how long I stand at the window D A Watching crosswinds erase all her tracks in the snow D G In her mind, it's springtime, she goes to pick some flowers D A D In the cold dead of winter, when no flowers grow
[Verse 1]
D G Many doctors have tried, but tried in vain D To make my darling well
They say it would take a miracle
A D And only time will tell
[Verse 2]
D Her mind is in another world G Her own little world D So she picks flowers in the cold dead of winter A D At a time no flowers grow
[Verse 3]
D There was a time when her mind was sound G When she picked pretty flowers in the spring D She and little Mike and I would take to the country A D When we heard the first Robin sing
[Verse 4]
D We loaded our car with daisies G Blue bonnets, buttercups and marigolds D But life had a way of bringing the winter A D And a time when no flowers grow
[Verse 5]
D Little Mike had been making a snowman G And you know how little kids are D They soon get tired of playin' one game A D Well, Mike had crawled under the car
[Verse 6]
D G As mama twirled the keys, she threw me a kiss D A D And said, "Watch little Mike, don't let him get cold" D G Well, that was two years ago and it's winter again D A D And a time when no flowers grow
[Verse 7]
D I know there's a star called little Mike G Somewhere up there, with the rest D And maybe someday, she'll see it A D But then, maybe for her, this way is the best
[Verse 8]
D G I watched her arrange bare branches in a vase D Her flowers, she picked from the snow A D And sometimes, they look like flowers to me G D A D At a time, when no flowers grow
[Chorus]
D G I don't know how long I stand at the window D A Watching crosswinds erase all her tracks in the snow D G In her mind, it's springtime, she goes to pick some flowers D A D In the cold dead of winter, when no flowers grow
[Outro]
D A D In the cold dead of winter, when no flowers grow
