Winter time was yesterday
a place not far from here
Spring just walked away
and summer's end is drawing near
I look back when we talked of now
it seems so far away
Things work out in ways
we can't predict from day to day

Take me to a place that I'll stay

I know now why I feel all right
To look back on before
seemed to be on course
for what I knew would be in store
I laugh when I remember things
I know I'll laugh again
nothing's really changed
from how we did things even then

Chorus

Oh take me to a place
not far from here
A place that helped to make
it all so clear
I know it's where I'll go
when day's run into years
Take me to a place, so near

We used to watch the paint just fall away
and make our breaks on paper trays
Sing a tune about another day
the day has changed, but other things still stay

Oh take me to a place
not far from here
A place that helped to make
it all so clear
I know it's where I'll go
when day's run into years
Take me to a place, so near

I look back when we talked of now
A place not far from here
I know that I'll be waiting there

A place so near
