When the Nights Are Cold

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

But I'll keep you warm when the nights are cold

The moon is high, the stars are blinkin'

Clouds are driftin' so slow and low

And I just can't keep myself from thinking

That I'll keep you warm when the nights are cold

The moon is gone now, the rain is fallin'

Clouds are driftin' so slow and low

And the fire is dyin', the logs are fallin'

But I'll keep you warm when the nights are cold

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

But I'll keep you warm when the nights are cold

I'll keep you warm when the nights are cold
