Winter Weather
Peggy Lee Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I love the winter weather
So the two of us can get together
There's nothing sweeter and finer
When it's nice and cold, I can hold

My baby closer to me
And collecting all the kisses that are due me
I love the winter weather
Because I've got my love to keep me warm

I love the winter weather
So the two of us can get together
There's nothing sweeter or finer
When it's nice and cold, I can hold

My baby closer to me
And collecting little kisses that are due me
I love the winter weather
Because I've got my love to keep me warm

I love the winter weather
So the two of us can get together
There's nothing sweeter or finer
When it's nice and cold, I can hold

My baby closer to me
And collecting little kisses that are due me




I love the winter weather
Because I've got my love to keep me warm

This sentiment captures the idea that true warmth and happiness comes from the people we love. Winter Weather is a romantic song that captures the feeling of being in love during the magical winter season.

Classic Christmas/Holiday music is by far the BEST!!!!!!

Such a great tune! I always look for obscure music off the main stream path for the holidays (Christmas and Halloween) and I usually find GREAT options from the 30's and 40's that people just don't think of! I used to DJ and now its just for me personally! Satellite radio throws stuff like this around and then I get hooked! Thanks for the upload warholsoup100! BTW-Great photos on this one too! Peggy Lee...what a knockout dame huh?

When you were a DJ, did you play 30s and 40s, jazz, or something else? Just curious.

I LOVE this song!!

Edana Brown

Winter or summer, this is a great, be-boppy, toe-tappin song. Love it. And her snappy delivery makes it just perfect.

My Mom sang with the Big Bands, I love this song!

Winter is so much sweeter when I hear this song. I've always listened to Jo Stafford's rendition and just learned about this version just recently. Very nice!

I heard this song on Pandora Christmas playlist and I thou the rhythm was so cute to dance to. I really, really like this song.
