Lyrics

In the wintertime keep your feet warm

In the wintertime, take care of yourself, stay warm.

But keep your clothes on and don't forget me

Even in challenging times, keep your clothes on and remember me.

Keep the memories

Hold onto the memories we shared.

But keep your powder dry too

Be cautious, be prepared, and preserve yourself.


In the summer by the poolside

During summertime near the pool, amidst the fireflies.

While the fireflies are all around you

I'll miss you when I'm lonely in those moments.

I'll miss you when I'm lonely

Expressing a sense of loneliness and the burden of alimony payments.

I'll miss the alimony too

Acknowledging the financial strain of alimony.


Don't forget me, don't forget me

A plea to be remembered, not to be forgotten.

Make it easy, only just for a little while

Making the request to make parting easy, if only for a short time.

You know I'll think about you

Assuring that thoughts will linger about the person.

Let me know you'll think about me too

Requesting reciprocal thoughts from the other person.


And when we're older and full of cancer

Contemplating aging and the challenges it brings.

It doesn't matter now, come on get happy

Encouraging a positive outlook, irrespective of circumstances.

'Cause nothing lasts forever

Acknowledging the impermanence of everything.

But I will always love you

Expressing enduring love despite the transient nature of life.


Don't forget me, please don't forget me

Reiterating the plea not to be forgotten.

Make it easy, only just for a little while

Asking for an easy farewell, even if only temporary.

You know I'll think about you

Reiterating the assurance of persistent thoughts.

Let me know you'll think about me too

Requesting reciprocal assurance of ongoing thoughts.
