Chorus:

The 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.

I can't remember a worse December,
Just watch those icicles form,
What do I care if icicles form?
I've got my love to keep me warm.

 

Bridge:
Off with my overcoat, off with my gloves,
I need no overcoat, I'm burning with love.

 

Last Chorus:
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.
