Hazy Shade of Winter

[Verse 1]
Time, time, time
See what's become of me
While I looked around
For my possibilities
I was so hard to please

[Chorus]
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winter
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

[Verse 2]
Hear the Salvation Army band
Down by the riverside
There's bound to be a better ride
Than what you've got planned
Carry a cup in your hand

[Chorus]
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winter
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

[Verse 3]
Hang on to your hopes, my friend
Oh, that's an easy thing to say
But if your hopes should pass away
Simply pretend
That you can build them again

[Chorus 2]
Look around
Grass is high
Fields are ripe
It's the springtime of my life

[Bridge]
Seasons change with the scenery
Weaving time in a tapestry
Won't you stop and remember me?

[Chorus]
Look around
Leaves are brown
And the sky
Is a hazy shade of winter
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

[Outro]
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
Look around
Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground
