Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(do do-do do do do-do)
The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing
But I can weather the storm!
What do I care how much it may storm?
For I've got my love to keep me warm
I can't remember a worse December
Oh, what do I care if icicles form?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
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?
Oh, 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?
Oh, 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?
Oh-ho-ho, I've got my love to keep me warm
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?
Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm
The lyrics of Starlighters’ song “I’ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm” speak about the winter season and the importance of having love to keep oneself warm during the cold weather. The opening lines “The snow is snowing and the wind is blowing/But I can weather the storm!” shows that the singer is not afraid of the storm or the cold weather because they have someone they love to keep them warm. The repetition of “What do I care how much it may storm?” reinforces the idea that love can give one the strength and resilience to endure any challenge, even inclement weather.
The lyrics then address the singer’s personal experience of a particularly difficult December, “I can't remember a worse December/Just watch those icicles form!”. However, the phrase “Oh, I've got my love to keep me warm” is repeated again and again to emphasize the power of love in providing comfort and strength even during tough times. In the lines “Off with my overcoat, off with my glove/I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love!”, the singer suggests that the warmth of love can sometimes surpass the need for warm clothing.
