I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm
FAYE ALICE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
For I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form!
Oh, what do I care if icicles form?
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
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?
Oh, 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?
Oh, 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?
Oh-ho-ho, I've got my love to keep me warm
Off with my overcoat, off with my glove
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?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm

Oh, the lovely Alice Faye. Wonderful, Heather! Yes, keeping warm has been a challenge this winter. A cup of coffee with a piece of peach pie with whipped cream sure would help to take the chill off. Thank you for posting this! Have a warm safe weekend, my friend :))
