Gus Levene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 cannot remember the worst December
Just watch the icicles form
What do I care if icicles form
Off with my overcoat off with my gloves
Who needs an overcoat I'm burning with love
My heart's on fire and 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
I thought you ought to know my heart's on fire
The flame it just leaps higher
So I will weather the storm
Why do I care how much it storms
I've got my love
To keep me warm
I've got my love to keep me warm
