It May Be Winter Outside
Love Unlimited Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the temperature dips
I miss my baby's arms
His tender finger tips
Knows just how to keep me warm

It may be zero degrees
With the snow falling down
But I've got warm and tender love
Just as long as he's around

[Chorus]
It may be winter outside
But in my heart it's spring
How much joy and pleasure, baby
Can one guy bring me

Winter nights can be awful cold
Without someone to hold
But when I have him next to me
Baby, I'm in ecstasy

[Chorus]

Throughout my life
I've had my share of guys
But he's been the only one
Who can make my temperature rise

Things are just not the same
When he's not by my side
But yet, I shouldn't complain
But be waiting with my arms open wide





[Chorus: x3]

Overall Meaning

Love Unlimited's song "It May Be Winter Outside" is a poignant love song that speaks to the warmth and comfort of being held in the arms of a loved one during the cold winter months. The opening lines of the song describe the singer's longing for her partner's embrace and how his affectionate touch can keep her warm. The first verse also establishes the contrast between the freezing temperatures outside and the warmth of her lover's love, which allows her to feel like it's spring in her heart.


In the chorus, the singer celebrates the joy and pleasure that her partner brings her, even in the darkest days of winter. She acknowledges that without him, the winter nights can be "awful cold" and lonely. But when he's with her, she feels like she's in ecstasy, and it's impossible for her to be unhappy.


The second verse explores the singer's past experiences with other men and how they pale in comparison to the passion and desire that her current partner ignites in her. She describes how things feel incomplete and different when he's not by her side, and how no one else can make her temperature rise like he can.


Overall, this song is a beautiful and touching tribute to the power of love to provide warmth and comfort even in the coldest and darkest of days.

Didn't really appreciate how good this was when it first got released but it's just such a joyous track. Brings tears to my eyes now at the age of 65. Oh to be able to go back to those fantastic times.
