Jealous



Winter don't be jealous
You know I love you so
But you have gone and left me here
quite lonely on my own.

Summer treats me dear
And you are nowhere near.
You really can't resent me,
You sullen winter storm.

It was really you who planted
this poet in my soul.
And you know very well
That on someone I must dote.

So, Winter don't be jealous
You know I loved you more.
