When the Nights Are Cold Lyrics


Please don't ask me to swim that river
Please don't ask me for silver and gold
I can't give you things,
That I can't deliver
I'll keep you warm,
When the nights are coldThe moon is high,
The stars are blinkin,
The clouds are driftin,
So slow and low,
And I just can't keep,
Myself from thinkin
I'll keep you warm,
When the nights are coldThe moon is gone now,
Rain is falling,
The clouds are drifting,
So slow and low,
And the fire is dying,
The walls are falling,

I'll keep you warm,
When the nights Are ColdPlease don't ask me to swim that river,
Please don't ask me for silver and gold,
I can't give you things,
That I can't deliver,
I'll keep you warm, when the nights are cold,
I'll keep you warm, when the nights are cold

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
