Keepsake

by Robin Williamson

I will remember
Even when I'm dead
A long winter's night
You came stealing to my bed

O and the snow was falling
White all on the ground
But it's warm with me
Let fall you velvet gown

Chorus:
Your fater snores
Your mother sighs
We hear them through the wall
I remember a long winter's nigth
I remember it all

Ah whisper you love me
Talk soft and low
With your hands like white birds
And your breasts like snow

How could I be born too soon
Or you be born too late
You rightly lying with me
And your lips against my face
