I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm
Louis Armstrong/Ella Fitzgerald Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
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
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
