winter song

note: I chanced upon Leno's show just when he's about to introduce Ingrid Michaelson (whom I've such a crush on for so long!!!) and Sara Bareillis (her, not so much; but good singer, though). The song is quite well-written - melodies kept simple, its arrangements purposeful, lyrics that tugs the heart - and the two ladies rendered the song with such touch, that I just had to share it with you all. Enjoy!

Winter Song
by Sara Bareillis & Ingrid Michaelson


Performance on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno (12/09/08)

This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon,
it rolls in from the sea

My voice a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light,
to carry you to me.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love...

They say that things just cannot grow
beneath the winter snow,
or so I have been told.

They say were buried far,
just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
cause you're not where you belong;
inside my arms.

I still believe in summer days.
The seasons always change
and life will find a way.

I'll be your harvester of light
and send it out tonight
so we can start again.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
cause you're not where you belong;
inside my arms.

This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon
it rolls in from the sea.

My love a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
to carry you to me.

Is love alive?
