John Michael joined the family band (which also included his brother, Eddie Montgomery, who would later join Troy Gentry in the duo Montgomery Gentry) as guitarist before taking the lead singing role when his parents divorced. Afterwards, he made a frugal living on the local honky-tonk scene as a solo artist playing what he referred to as "working man's country." Eventually, Atlantic Records signed him.
Cover You in Kisses
John Michael Montgomery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A foot of new snow on the ground
You're all bundled up in blankets
I'd give anything to be there with you now
I'd cover you in kisses
Hold you in my arms
That's all that I can think of
Darlin' I've been livin'
For the moment that we touch
So I can cover you in kisses
And wrap you in my love
Baby keep that fire burnin'
Pour a glass of that sweet wine
Let your hair down on your shoulders
And I'll be there just in time
To cover you in kisses
Hold you in my arms
That's all that I can think of
Every minute we're apart
Darlin' I've been livin'
For the moment that we touch
So I can cover you in kisses
And wrap you in my love
Darlin' I've been livin'
For the moment that we touch
So I can cover you in kisses
And wrap you in my love
I want to cover you in kisses
And wrap you in my love

You say it's cold back there in Denver
You mentioned it's chilly in Denver
A foot of new snow on the ground
There's one-foot of freshly fallen snow lying around
You're all bundled up in blankets
You're nicely wrapped up in blankets to stay warm
I'd give anything to be there with you now
I'm willing to do anything to be there, by your side, at this moment
I'd cover you in kisses
I'll shower you with love and affection, kissing you all over
Hold you in my arms
I'll embrace you tightly and make sure you feel loved
That's all that I can think of
These are the only thoughts that occupy my mind right now
Every minute we're apart
Every single moment that we are away from each other
Darlin' I've been livin'
Honey, I've been existing and getting by with the thought of us being together
For the moment that we touch
Because all I want is the moment of you and me coming in physical contact with each other
So I can cover you in kisses
So I fulfill my desire to show you my affection
And wrap you in my love
And envelop you in my genuine and immense love
Baby keep that fire burnin'
My dear, please maintain the warmth in your room/fireplace
Pour a glass of that sweet wine
Savour a glass of your favorite sweet wine that soothes you.
Let your hair down on your shoulders
Relax yourself, let down your hair that falls freely on your shoulders
And I'll be there just in time
I'll reach there just in time to be with you
And wrap you in my love
And encircle you wholeheartedly in my love
I want to cover you in kisses
My wish is to shower you with kisses
