Louis Armstrong feat. Ella Fitzgerald 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 can't remember a worse December
Just watch those icicles form
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
I've got my love to keep me warm
Yes, 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
Yes, 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
Oh, 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
Thus I've got my love to keep me warm
Yes, 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
The song "I've Got My Love To Keep Me Warm" by Louis Armstrong feat. Ella Fitzgerald is a classic love song about being able to withstand any difficulty or hardship, as long as there is love. The first stanza sets the scene - the snow is snowing and the wind is blowing, but the singer is not worried. No matter how much it storms he/she can weather the storm because they have love to keep them warm. The second stanza establishes a worse scenario - the idea of icicles forming, an image of the bitter cold. Yet again, the singer is unbothered. The third stanza is a declaration of love, the singer in the throes of passion. The world could be ending but it wouldn't matter because their heart is on fire. It's a dramatic statement that conveys the depth of love felt. Finally, the song returns to the original message. Whatever the storm, the singer has love to keep them warm.
Overall, the song is an ode to love, which is a timeless and relatable theme. Even though the song is set in winter, the metaphor extends to life in general. Love can warm a cold heart, give hope in difficult times, and provide a sense of meaning and purpose. The song's hopeful tone encourages the listener to embrace love in their own life and find comfort in the warmth it brings.
