Sergio Mendes - Sometimes In Winter Lyrics






Sometimes in Winter
I gaze into the streets
And walk through snow and city sleet
Behind your room

Sometimes in Winter
Forgotten memories
Remember you behind the trees
With leaves that cried

By the window once I waited for you
Laughing slightly you would run
Trees alone would shield us in the meadow
Makin' love in the evening sun

Now you're gone girl
And the lamp posts call your name
I can hear them
In the spring of frozen rain
Now you're gone girl
And the time's slowed down till dawn
It's a cold room
And the walls ask where you've gone

Sometimes In Winter
I love you when the good times
Seem like memories in the spring
That never came

Sometimes In Winter
I wish the empty streets
Would fill with laughter
From the tears that ease my pain

    Brilliant. It's sad that they tried to become commercial and pop stars, but who can blame them? Stillness ended up as their greatest album.

    Hear, hear!

    Took me a few minutes to figure out that Cibo Matto drew some influence from this. You could do worse.

  3. K.... O....

    Just lovely!

    ...more than words

    Beautiful and haunting song, I actually think this is better than the BST original. More space and ambience, and I especially like the double bass playing towards the end.

    Haunting ..Beautiful .... sorry BST..like many songs B 66 copied they were simply better...

  7. S.... P....

    Love it! Thank you for posting.

    This is one of many songs by Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66 that went sadly un-noticed.  Just a terrific performance.  Usually the "original version" of a song is the best, but not this time. (It was originally done by Blood, Sweat and Tears.)

    M.... B....

    Mike Blakesley Awesome version, in 1970 Lani Hall left Sergio's Brasil'66 to marry Herb Alpert. From 1970, Sergio felt betrayed by both Herb&Lani. I believe to this day up until 1983 Herb failed to promote Sergio's album releases from Stillness to Primal Roots when Sergio's contract with A&M Records expired, he left. The singles from Stillness "Chelsea Morning" and "For What Its Worth" did fairly well especially on Adult Contemporary Charts😎. I was hoping this song would be released but never was.

  9. P.... B....

    Just wonderful isn't it? x

  10. M.... E....

    I wrote this song in 1954, coincidentally the same year I was born, anyway, I think I'll take a nap now.

    M.... E....

    +Mike Edgar
    Yes, probably best.

    M.... E....

    It's a bitch to have ears of lead. A wise man had your number when he said that it's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak up and remove all doubt.

    M.... E....

    @iconoclast
    I don't think he meant it as a criticism of the song.. though I'm not sure what he did mean... or that he knew either.

    M.... E....

    @Eman Puedama You must be his self-appointed attorney but not a very successful one. Of course it's criticism of the song, which he considers dated and boring. Here's the original version, which is much better:

    I never thought this song would get any better
    I appreciate being proved wrong in this case

  12. A.... B....

    A lovely and smooth song , it ebbs and flows like the tides of the sea
