    "Robert Hicks never ceases to thrill and amaze me.  He sings.  He swings.  He plays the piano like the best, most versatile jazz musicians in the music world.  And now he tackles the very special (and generally over worked) holiday--season genre with an originality and freshness unlike anything that has been heard before.  Old Christmas classics and new, exciting seasonal originals warm the soul and enhance the familiar with beauty and skill.  From horn choirs to big-band charts, expect one surprise after another, in an album that surpasses the season with a value that lasts all year long.  This is a triumph of wonder and joy."  REX REED

lyrics

If you want a cool break by a frosty lake
Then I’m the guy you’ll want to see
For a ride up the mountain to a chic chalet
Winter Awhile with me

Palm Desert is nice, I’ve only been there twice
The climate isn’t so versatile
The temperature’s oppressive, I intend to be suggestive
Come along and Winter Awhile

BRIDGE
It won’t feel like Christmastime
Unless you’re getting snow on the ground
A jaunt on a caterpillar through the pine
With not another human around

Why dontcha come forth and bring your chassis up north
Canoodle on a cozy settee
Frisky pranks while romping in the snow banks
Winter Awhile with me

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

Snow shoes in powder, and then some duck chowder
And if you want to cross-country ski
I’ve got the gear, and if you’ve got the gumption
Winter Awhile with me

Jet planes are quick if you wanna take a trip
Far away from the Salton Sea
We’ll enhance bliss and celebrate the solstice
Winter Awhile with me

BRIDGE
Hot spiced cider, leave out the rum
Don’t ever want to catch you off your guard
Forget Jack Frost so we can get lost
And get rescued by a Saint Bernard

I wanna confide and be your nature guide
Escape from the bourgeoisie
Put on your parka, the night is getting darker
You’ll fall in love I guarantee

I’ll fend off the bears and be your concierge
Journey through the forest in style
Proceed with me and Winter Awhile
