I was born in the middle of an ice storm On the longest night of the year And that frozen rain on the old window pane Was the first sound I ever did hear Won't you stand beside me darling? So I don't have to feel so alone Hold me tight all through the night When that old winter wind begins to blow When the sky is turning gray and cloudy Weatherman is saying ten below And the icicles drop from every rooftop That's when that old chill creeps into my bones Won't you stand beside me darling? So I don't have to feel so alone Hold me tight all through the night When that old winter wind begins to blow Well it's one thing roamin' in the springtime Or in the long lazy days of July I don't care at all if you leave me in the fall But in the wintertime I want you by my side Won't you stand beside me darling? So I don't have to feel so alone Hold me tight all through the night When that old winter wind begins to blow
