Lyrics
VERSE
How I remember when we were quite young
How hard I tried, but you just passed me by
I think you thought I was way too low-strung
But I had a dream I would not let die

CHORUS
Now when the nights are cold and the hearts are warm
That's when I want you in my arms
Well, that's not really true 'cause I want you all the time
Nothing I'd like better than knowing you were mine

VERSE
As time went by, you were such a long shot
I had a few thoughts about moving on
Several times, I thought you might tie the knot
But when I looked up, that guy was gone

Repeat CHORUS/SOLO/VERSE
One night I got the nerve to go where you would be
Just to see if anything might have changed
When you said "Hi," words almost failed me
Then to my surprise, numbers were exchanged

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Now that was a long, long time ago
And we never have looked back
So what you need to know is
I love you so much I was never giving up

Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Good thing it's freezing where we live
'Cause I love to hold you when the nights are cold
