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
