Keep Me From The Cold
Curtis Stigers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the snows come
And the wind blows cold
Will you hold me
Like you'll never let go?
Will you kiss me so sweetly
And whisper you love me, so?

I have wandered through the mountains
I have searched the streets below
But all I ever really wanted
Was someone to hold me
And to keep me from the cold

And when the night falls
And you're fast asleep
I'll watch over you
And I'll pray your heart to keep
So you can sleep easy
You know you can count on me

I have wandered through the mountains
I have searched the streets below
But all I ever really wanted
Is someone to need me
And to keep me from the cold
Baby, keep me from the cold

Oh darlin' when you're sleeping
Am I with you in your dreams?
Do I hold you close
And dance you through the night?
And when the nightmares come
Will you let me be the one
Who kisses you
And tells you, "It's alright"

And in the morning
When the light creeps in
I will hold you
As you're slowly waking
I'll kiss you so softly
And promise I'll never go

'Cause I have wandered through the mountains
I have searches the streets below
But all I ever really wanted
Is someone to need me
And to keep me from the cold

I have wandered through the mountains
I have searched the streets below
All I ever really wanted
Is for you to love me
I want you to love me
And keep me from the cold

Baby, keep me from the cold
All I ever wanted
So keep me from the cold




Keep me from the cold
Please keep me from the cold

When the snows come
During the arrival of winter's first snowflakes

Will you kiss me so sweetly
Would you sweetly kiss me,


And whisper you love me, so?
And tell me that you love me softly?


I have wandered through the mountains
I've walked through the mountains


I have searched the streets below
And walked the streets of the town


But all I ever really wanted
Yet all I want is someone to be with


Was someone to hold me
Someone who can hold me


And to keep me from the cold
And keep me warm during winter's harsh hold

And when the night creeps in

And protect me from the cold winds of hold


Baby, keep me from the cold
My dear love, please keep me warm during the cold winter days


All I ever wanted
What I always wished for


So keep me from the cold
Is to keep me away from the biting cold


Keep me from the cold
Protect me from the winter's icy hold


Please keep me from the cold
I beg you to keep me warm and save me from the cold
