Music & Lyrics Written By Howard Axtell

I’ll tell you a story bout a woman so lonely, all she really wanted was a friend
With tears in her eyes she stares out the window at the cold and lonely wind
I’ve waited for days just wanting to see her, I knew he’d break her heart again
When I opened the door, I could see she’d been cryin’,
I held out my arms and let her in

Said I’d keep the cold away, keep the cold away, from her                                                                                  
I’ll keep the cold away, keep the cold away, from her

Now somewhere there’s a card game, he’s holdin’ a flushed hand, at the break of day
He’s emptied a bottle in another’s lovin’ arms, she’s holdin’ on to him
Now somewhere in the heartland, she’s holdin’ his name
Somewhere in the night, she’s losing sleep again
Leavin’ his promises, and hopin’ to win
In a heart of another and learn to love again

Said I’d keep the cold away, keep the cold away, from her                                                                                  
I’ll keep the cold away, keep the cold away, from her

Last night I heard you talking in your sleep
And as I watched your hair fell softly across your face in the moonlight
Now darlin’, I know it’s not too late for love, and never too late, to care

I’ll keep the cold away, keep the cold away, from her                                                                                  
I’ll keep the cold away, keep the cold away, from her
I’ll keep the cold away, keep the cold away, from her                                                                                  
I’ll keep the cold away, keep the cold away, from her

I’ll keep the cold away, keep the cold away, from her
