Colder Than Winter
Sarah Brightman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right here in my heart
Lord, I'm gonna miss her
She's torn me apart
[Chorus]
I couldn't make you love me
I couldn't give you any more
Since you closed the door
It's colder than winter
I'm freezin' inside
And my tears won't be bitter
Even though our love died
[Chorus]
Every time the sun sets
I she'd another tear
And the lonelier I get
Wishing you were still here
[Chorus]
It's colder than winter
Since you closed the door
