Winter Nights
Hold my breath and hold my hand
As we stumble upon this midnight, clear
Steal my heart, we'll steal the moon
And let it warm our numb fingers
/Stay close as Winter invites us in
And we sip on coco and cheer - so bright!
Tell me you'll be there when I wake
At the first slip of morning light
/Could you
Let the fire burn to embers
Let the snow fall then melt away
Let your snow globe drift to its last note
And afterwords, tell me you'll stay?
/If December gets any colder, I'll
Tremble right out of your hands
But for now by the fire, I drink with desire
And eyes fall to sugar plum dreaming
