But I can weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form
What do I care if icicles form
Off with my overcoat, off with my gloves
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form
What do I care if icicles form
Baby, I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my gloves
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm
The snow is snowing, the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm, storm, storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form
What do I care if icicles form
'Cause I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my gloves
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire, the flame grows higher
So I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm
I've got my love to keep me
I've got my love to keep me
I've got my love to keep me warm

Lyrics:
Every time I look down on this timeless town
Whether blue or gray be her skies
Whether loud be her cheers or whether soft be her tears
More and more do I realize that
I love Paris in the springtime
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris
Why, oh, why do I love Paris?
Because my love is near
I love Paris in the springtime
I love Paris in the fall
I love Paris in the winter when it drizzles
I love Paris in the summer when it sizzles
I love Paris every moment
Every moment of the year
I love Paris
Why, oh, why do I love Paris?
Because my love is near

Ella Fitzgerald had one of the most beautiful voices ever. Also, I particularly love her beautiful (and clear) diction.
Miss Dee
So I do. She had the best diction of any singer ever!
Richard Rosenthal
I'd say that she and Doris Day are tied. Also, I very much appreciate that Ella includes the oft-neglected introductory verses; I'm guessing that doing so was her choice.
Tina de Souza
@Richard Rosenthal Me too, the verse introduces the songs beautifully. It is a shame more vocalists do not include the verse. At my last gig in HK down in the dungeons of The (now extinct) Ambassador Hotel on the Golden Mile Nathan Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Music Lovers knew the verses and expected them!

This is why I love the older singers... I can understand them and their voices don't sound strangled like modern 'singers.'

when I was a baby in the early 60's my Mom used to sing this song to me as a lullaby to get me to sleep. To this day, this song has a profound effect on me. I cry every tine I hear it.
