by Nanci Griffith, James Hooker



When I wake in the night

And find that I'm dreaming

You're the first thought in mind



Love's a fair-weather friend when you're lonely

You are my summer state of mind



Chorus:

Does it sing to you nightly?

Does it lay down beside you?

Does it make you hear songs on the radio?

It once was my shadow, grown weary of travel

Til you gave it home



What makes the love grow

When the seasons change?

What makes the love grow?

It's simple it comes and it grows on its own
