It's cold outside
So understand
If I don't hang around to wave
I'll say goodbye
And kiss your hand
And then get on with being brave

But don't expect to wipe away
The tears 'cos you know they belong
In someone else's winter way
Before I ever came long
And tried to melt the snow
And tried to melt the snow

And meanwhile I'll be here
And I'll pray to God above
That someday you might learn again
It's you I'm dreaming of
And meanwhile I'll be here
And I'll pray to God above
That someday you might turn again to me
Your one and ever love

It's cold outside
So understand
If I don't hand around and cry
I'll let you go
Without a word

And then be bluer than the sky
And I'll try not to watch you go
And I'll try not to stand alone
Behind you in the snow
Behind you in the snow

And meanwhile I'll be here
And I'll pray to God above
That someday you might turn again to me
Your one and ever love
One and ever
Carry me away to a road that doesn't lead to here so
I don't have to say
On all the days you won't appear that
And meanwhile I'll be here
And I'll pray to God above
That someday you might learn again
It's you I'm dreaming of
And meanwhile I'll be here
And I'll pray to God above
That someday you might turn again to me
Your one and ever love

And meanwhile I'll be here
And I'll pray to God above
That someday you might turn again to me
Your one and ever love
