When You Return to Me
(Words and Music by Doug Hoekstra and Hugh Hart)

Flowers grow in the dead of winter on my windowsill
In a window box on a bed of cinders, I hope they well
Be bloomin’ by the summertime
When you return to me

Flowers grow in the dead of winter, I bought your favorite kind
Marigolds that burn, even though I’m color blind
I see these flowers through your eyes

When you return to me
When you return to me
When you come walkin’ up that drive
The first thing you will see
Is something precious and alive

Flowers grow in the dead of winter and all I have to do
Is water them every day and begin to think of you
You remind me of the smallest one, fightin’ for its space

When you return to me
We’ll have a garden of our own
I hope that you will see
How the both of us have grown
