Harvest Time Lyrics

"Harvest Time"

© Gregory Poirier 2021

A cool wind is blowin', but I don't mind

It's the call of November, And the weather is fine

Harvest moon In the night

Big ol' lantern, he shines his light

The fields are fallowed, got bails of hay

Let's get to dancin', it's time to play

The band has a fiddle, the wine has a song

No finer a'night, I can't remember how long

Leaves have turned around into gold

Gotta get to dancin' before we're too old

'Cause it's harvest time

In this heart of mine

Yes, it's harvest time

And I never wanna let it go

Bonfire burnin', lightin' up the sky

A right of passage, a call of the night

Young lovers run off, they do no harm

Out stealin' kisses behind the barn

Bright copper kettle, the cider is free

It's the neighborly way, this is the place to be

It's a gift from God and as everyone knows

When you harvest with love, you reap what you sow

Autumn waves the summer goodbye

Fireflies shimmer like stars in the sky

'Cause it's harvest time

In this heart of mine

Yes, it's harvest time

And I never wanna let it go

Spring comes 'round, we plant the seeds

Tend each one like a family

At harvest time, we get it all back

It's the best darn job you could ever have

(Instrumental break)

Field by field and row by row

Tender care, we watch it grow

Harvest time, ya get it all back

Nothin' worth havin' comes easier to stack

So, set 'em up and knock 'em down

Here's to the reason we built this town

So bring all the family, invite all your friends

Here's to a night that will never end

Apple, peach and pumpkin pie

The barn owl's dancin', he's winkin' his eye

'Cause it's harvest time (harvest time)

In this heart of mine

Yes, it's harvest time (harvest time)

In this heart of mine

Yes, it's harvest time (harvest time)

In this heart of mine

Yes, it's harvest time (harvest time)

In this heart of mine

Yes, it's harvest time (harvest time)

In this heart of mine

Yes, it's harvest time (harvest time)

And I never wanna let it go
