February Blue

Countless the times that the sun sets and shines
On the moon as it climbs in the sky
Tonight it is full and I'm feeling the pull
Of a familiar feeling inside
You were born, February
As weak as much as new
But you showed me how to live again
And now I find my strength in you

You're my one and only love
You're a one and only, a one and only love
And there's no one above you now
My February Blue

With your pillow still warm, your blanket is drawn
Over Spotty and Barnum the Bear
On walls of pink roses, the storybook closes
But the tale is always there
Of a world growing stranger
Well one day you'll have to pay it some mind
But you're still too young and beautiful
To see the danger in being kind

I hear music from a high window
Echoes in every word you said
There's always this hard feeling
When the thoughts press too close in my head

The bluebells of April, the harebells of June
Those remembered hills of summer afternoons
The heavens in August, your eyes at play
All tones of blue for eternity
We may have lost the road untaken
Built fences where they don't belong
But when you sit down beside me February
In blows that mountain song

You're my one and only love
You're a one and only, a one and only love
And there's no one above you now
My February Blue
No there's no one above you now
My February Blue
