Winter Lover

The snow keeps falling.  There is a storm every few days now.  How many will it take until we stop calling them storms and come back to the time when we said, “Look, it’s snowing today.  It’s beautiful outside.  All white.”

In Vinnetsa, when I was a child, the snow kept the streets covered most of the winter.  We ice-skated at the big park across the street from our house, and went skiing down its hills on the weekends.  The skis were made of wood and I stepped into the straps with my boots on.  Holding on to poles that were too big, I went down the soft, crunchy hill.  I didn’t have patience to walk back up with my skis, I just wanted to keep going down.

Snow covered New York, finally, after departing for so many years.  Like a forgotten lover, who was beautiful but misunderstood.

“I left you, because you kept calling me bad names, like storm and blizzard and nor’easter, which I didn’t appreciate.  You were making too much drama and I was sick of you.  I left for calmer, more appreciative pastures, like Vermont and Colorado, where people cheer when I do my thing.”

“But now.  I am back, to show(snow) you, I can really shake them down,” said the falling snow.

The Contours –  Do you love me Lyrics

Do you love me?
(I can really move)
Do you love me?
(I’m in the groove)
Ah, do you love?
(Do you love me)
Now that I can dance
(Dance)

Watch me now, oh
(Work, work)
Ah, work it all baby
(Work, work)
Well, you’re drivin’ me crazy
(Work, work)
With a little bit of soul now
(Work)

I can mash-potatoe
(I can mash-potatoe)
And I can do the twist
(I can do the twist)
Now tell me baby
(Tell me baby)
Mmm, do you like it like this
(Do you like it like this)
Tell me
(Tell me)
Tell me

Do you love me?
