Lyrics

Wintertime of '38
Little brother said, "Come on, let's play"
I tied his shoes, and I held his hand
We went outside like a marching band

Though the skies were dark, not blue
We always found something to do
Just playing in the snow
But sure enough, wherever I'd go

"Wait for me, Sis, wait for me
There's so much more I want to see
Wait for me, before I go
There's so much more I want to know"

When the last thaw of winter was gone
Sun shined like a plate of bronze
We'd wade barefoot in the stream
Go to the fields just sit and dream

(Repeat Chorus)

Never knew the day would come
When Brother said he'd rather stay inside
Days passed and passed again
'Til the doctor said his fever was too high

There's a tree just down the road
A tall and grand willow
I still see him every day
Lean down so I can say

"Wait for me, wait for me
There's so much more I want to see
Wait for me, before you go
There's so much more I want to know"
