Lyrics
It’s colder than winter
Right here in my heart
Lord I’m gonna miss her
She’s torn me apart
I couldn’t make you love me
I couldn’t give any more
It’s colder than winter
Since you closed the door
It’s colder than winter
I’m freezing inside
And my tears won’t be bitter
Even though our love died
I couldn’t make you love me
I couldn’t give any more
It’s colder than winter
Since you closed the door
Every time the sun sets
I shed another tear
And the lonelier I get
Wishing you were still here
I couldn’t make you love me
I couldn’t give any more
It’s colder than winter
Since you closed the door
