Lyrics

In the winter of my youth I was frozen by fear Love was just a castle in the snow The gate of hearts was locked Love ignored me when I knocked Long ago In the spring, sunshine melted All the ice from the ground When I hear your voice calling after me The gate of hearts was open wide When your love came inside To set me free And the gate of hearts was open And your love came shining like the sun Deep in love, the summer burned As we lived and loved and learned [Instrumental Bridge] Now these autumn leaves have fallen From the tree of my life And the memory of my youth begins to fade I await to hear you sing Of the first breath of spring well away And the gate of hearts is open And your love come shining like the sun Deep in love, the summer burns As we lived and loved and learned... [Instrumental Outro]
