Hey Sweet Annie

Don't take it so bad

You know the summer's coming soon

Though the interstate is choking under salt and dirty sand

And it seems the sun is hiding from the moon



Your daddy told you

When you were a girl

The kind of things that come to those who wait

So give it a rest girl

Take a deep breath girl

And meet me at the Bay State tonight



And the snow is coming down

On our New England town

And it's been falling all day long

What else is new

What could I do

I wrote a valley winter song

To play for you



And late December

Can drag a man down

You feel it deep in your gut

Short days and afternoons spent pottering around

In a dark house with the windows painted shut



Remember New York 

Staring outside

As reckless winter made its way

From Staten Island to the Upper West Side

Whiting out our streets along the way



And the snow is coming down

On our New England town

And it's been falling all day long

What else is new

What can I do

But sing this valley winter song

I wrote for you
