Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
What do I care if icicles form?
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
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
I will weather the storm
What do I care how much it may storm?
I've got my love, I've got my love
I've got my love to keep me warm
