Robert Earl Keen - The Coldest Day of Winter lyrics

On the coldest day of winter In the darkest dead of night Lying down beside each other Wrapped up in the fireside light (Chorus 1) We may never live forever But we'll never be apart And this vow they made together Hand in hand, heart to heart In the blossom of the the springtime In the springtime of their lives In a little wedding chapel They became both man and wife (Chorus 1) (Guitar/Mandolin) Thru the long hot days of summer Trying hard to make their way In the coolness of the evening They would love their cares away (Chorus 1) But she found he had a secret And the leaves began to fall If he couldn't live forever Then she wouldn't live at all (Chorus 2) Then he cried, you'll find another But she would not understand And they buried them together Heart to heart, hand in hand Heart to heart, hand in hand
