There's a room in back

Where she sits and dreams
Does she dream of me
When summer's gone

I go where the dahlias bloom
I keep drifting back
To your Florida room

While the city freezes over
We'll be strollin' down the shore
Can she bring me back
To life once more
When the cold wind comes
I go where the dahlias bloom
I keep drifting back
To your Florida room

Some time in the sun
When the cold wind comes
I go where the dahlias bloom
I keep drifting back
To your Florida room
