A crooned waltz on New Morning, its old-fashioned melody recalling the softer singing Dylan had used on Nashville Skyline.
The words
A sweet, old-fashioned winter romance in which the singer invites his sweetheart to enjoy the snow and each other.
Addressed to a girl the singer is courting, the song paints a cosy winter scene of snow, a chapel and evenings spent together. Its tone is warm and slightly tongue-in-cheek, like a sentimental popular song from an earlier era. Dylan sings it as a lilting waltz in a soft, crooning voice. It is one of the most deliberately gentle and nostalgic moments on New Morning, a valentine to simple happiness.
