It's cold outside so understand
if I don't hang around to wait
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
and someone else just went away 
before I ever came along
and tried to melt the snow
and tried to melt the snow

and meanwhile I'll be here 
and I pray to god above
that someday you might learn again
its you I'm dreaming of
and meanwhile I'll be here 
and I pray to god above
that someday you might turn again to me
your one and ever love 

Its cold outside so understand
If I don't hang around and cry 
I let you go without a word
a memory bluer that the sky
and I've tried not to watch you go
and ill try not to stand alone
behind you in the snow
behind you in the snow

and meanwhile I'll be here 
and I pray to god above
that someday you might turn again to me 
your one and ever, one and ever 
carry me away
to a world that doesn't lead to you so
I don't have to say 
for all the days you wanna be there

and meanwhile I'll be here 
and I 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 pray to god above
that someday you might turn to me again
your one and ever love 

and meanwhile I'll be here 
and I pray to god above
that someday you might turn again to me 
your one and ever, one and ever
