That is the name of a very popular song about winter. Richard Smith and Felix Bernard wrote the song in 1934.But winter is not always such a beautiful and happy time. It is cold outside. The wind blows and makes it even colder. The days are shorter and darker. The sun rarely shines. The leaves on the trees are brown or have fallen to the ground. The flowers are mostly gone. It is not surprising that some people are sad in winter. And some people dream about being somewhere else where it is warm and pretty—like the state of California. The Mamas and the Papas recorded their famous song “California Dreaming” in 1965.During the 1960s, many other famous rock groups sang songs about winter. Here is a song by Simon and Garfunkel called “A Hazy Shade of Winter”. They sing about life and hope.In 1968, the group Blood, Sweat and Tears recorded this gentle, sad song about winter. They sing about a lost love and forgotten memories in “Sometimes in Winter”.Gordon Lightfoot wrote and recorded another sad and lovely song about winter in 1975. Sarah Mclachlan recorded “Song for a Winter’s Night” for an album in 2006. She sings about reading a love letter and wishing the writer were with her.1. beautiful2. warm and pretty3. life and hope4. 19685.
